📖 Explanation & Nuance

ENGLISH EXPLANATION

The correct answer is "あまく" (amaku). This is the て-form stem of the い-adjective "あまい" (amai, sweet). It's used to connect adjectives, describing multiple qualities of the same noun. Here, it connects "sweet" and "delicious." "ケーキ" (keeki) is the noun meaning "cake." "は" (wa) is the topic-marking particle, which comes after the noun. "て" (te) is the particle that connects the て-form stem to the next part of the sentence; it should come after "あまく."
