Question

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.
