Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an adverb usage error.
Teacher Grace remarked, "Quickly does he watch television".

A.

watch television

B.

"Quickly does he

C.

Teacher Grace

D.

remarked,

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains the adverb usage error.
Explanation: “Quickly does he watch television” is incorrect because the adverb “quickly” should not precede the auxiliary verb “does” in a normal declarative sentence.
✔ Correct sentence: “Does he watch television quickly?”
✔ Or: “He watches television quickly.”
Rule: In statements, adverbs usually come after the object or the verb (not before auxiliaries).
�� Information Booster:
✔ In questions: Adverb may follow helping verb (e.g., “Does he quickly eat?”)
✔ In statements: Adverb follows main verb or object.
