Question

Identify the sentence with the INCORRECT usage of the adverb.

A.

The teacher noticed that all students worked meticulously to complete the project on time.

B.

The teacher noticed that all students worked strenuous to complete the project on time.

C.

The teacher noticed that all students worked hard to complete the project on time.

D.

The teacher noticed that all students worked laboriously to complete the project on time.

Correct option is B


✔️ Option (b) contains the incorrect usage of the adverb.
Explanation:
The word “strenuous” is an adjective, not an adverb. The sentence structure requires an adverb to modify the verb “worked.”
Correct usage would be: “worked strenuously”
Correct sentence: The teacher noticed that all students worked strenuously to complete the project on time.
Grammatical rule used:
· Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
· Adjectives (like strenuous) cannot be used to describe verbs directly.
Grammatical rule in Hindi:
Adverb का प्रयोग क्रिया (verb) की विशेषता बताने के लिए होता है। “Strenuous” एक adjective है, जबकि यहाँ adverb “strenuously” होना चाहिए।
