Question

Select the option that corrects the error in the given sentence.
He ran quick to catch the bus.

A.

quiet

B.

rapid

C.

insipid

D.

quickly

Correct option is D

The correct substitution is quickly, which is the adverb form and modifies the verb "ran."
Explanation: Adverbs, not adjectives, are used to describe how an action is performed. "Quick" is an adjective and cannot modify the verb "ran."
Grammatical Rule Used: Verbs are modified by adverbs to describe the manner of the action.
Example: She speaks softly.
Meanings of other options:
· Quiet: Silent or making no noise (Hindi: शांत).
· Rapid: Fast or quick, used as an adjective (Hindi: तेज़).
· Insipid: Lacking flavor or interest (Hindi: नीरस).
