Question

Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
'The team worked extremely efficient under pressure'.

A.

efficient

B.

extremely

C.

under pressure.

D.

The team worked

Correct option is A


Option (a) efficient contains the error.
Explanation of error:
· In the sentence “The team worked extremely efficient under pressure,” the adjective “efficient” is incorrectly used. After the verb “worked,” an adverb should be used to describe how the action was done. The correct word is efficiently.
Grammatical rule used:
· Adverbs are used to describe verbs, not adjectives.
· "Worked" is a verb, so it requires the adverb “efficiently,” not the adjective “efficient.”
Explanation in Hindi:
· यहाँ “worked” क्रिया है, इसलिए इसे परिभाषित करने के लिए “efficiently” (adverb) का प्रयोग होना चाहिए, न कि “efficient” (adjective) का।
· Correct sentence: The team worked extremely efficiently under pressure.
