Question

Identify the sentence with the INCORRECT usage of adverb.

A.

Lary had certainly forgotten about the meeting.

B.

Larry had almost forgotten about the meeting.

C.

Larry complete had forgotten about the meeting.

D.

Larry had completely forgotten about the meeting.

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Error Explanation: “Complete” is an adjective, but the position here needs an adverb to modify the verb "had forgotten". Correct usage: “completely”.
Correct sentence: Larry had completely forgotten about the meeting.
Grammatical rule used: Adverbs modify verbs and should be used in proper form and placement.
Example: He quickly answered the question.
�� Information Booster: Many adjectives become adverbs by adding -ly. Always ensure correct word form based on function in the sentence.
