Identify the sentence with the INCORRECT usage of the adverb.

Correct option is A

The sentence with the incorrect adverb usage is (a) The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts figurative.
Correct sentence:
The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts figuratively .
�� Detailed Explanation:
In sentence (a), the word "figurative" is used incorrectly. “Figurative” is an adjective, but it is trying to modify the verb "evaluated." Verbs must be modified using adverbs, not adjectives.
So, the correct adverbial form “figuratively” should be used.
❗ Why it's wrong:
· "Figurative" (adjective) = used to describe nouns.
· "Evaluated" is a verb, so it requires an adverb — like "figuratively".
✅ Correct Usage:
· She explained the phrase figuratively , not literally.
· He spoke angrily , not calmly.
�� Grammatical Rule (In English):
Rule: When modifying a verb, adverb of manner should be used to explain how an action is done.
· Most adverbs of manner are formed by adding “-ly” to adjectives.
· E.g.,
· • calm → calmly
· • quick → quickly
· • angry → angrily
Adjectives describe nouns, but adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
�� व्याकरण नियम (हिंदी में):
नियम: जब हम यह बताना चाहते हैं कि कोई क्रिया (verb) कैसे की गई है, तो हमें क्रिया विशेषण (adverb) का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।
· अधिकतर क्रिया विशेषण adjective + ly से बनते हैं।
· उदाहरण:
· • polite → politely (शिष्टता से)
· • loud → loudly (तेज़ आवाज़ में)
· • figurative → figuratively (रूपक रूप में)
❗ "Figurative" एक विशेषण है, जो केवल संज्ञाओं को वर्णित करता है। जबकि "evaluated" एक क्रिया है, और उसे वर्णित करने के लिए "figuratively" (क्रिया विशेषण) की आवश्यकता है।
