Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If the given sentence is grammatically and contextually correct, then choose option “No error” as your answer response. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).

The doctor careful (A)/ examined the patient (B)/ and prescribed the necessary (C)/ medication for a speedy recovery. (D)

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: (a) A
Error: "The doctor careful examined the patient"
Grammatical Rule Applied:
· Adverb Usage: The word "careful" is an adjective, but it should modify the verb "examined", which requires an adverb instead of an adjective.
· The correct adverbial form of "careful" is "carefully" because adverbs modify verbs and describe the manner in which an action is performed.
Corrected Sentence:
"The doctor carefully examined the patient and prescribed the necessary medication for a speedy recovery."
