    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains an adverbial usage error.
    Mrs. Gomathi was / that tired and weak / that she could / scarcely walk.

    A.

    Mrs. Gomathi was

    B.

    that she could

    C.

    scarcely walk.

    D.

    that tired and weak

    Correct option is D


    The segment containing the error is "that tired and weak."
    · The phrase "that tired and weak" is incorrect because "that" is misplaced and unnecessary. The sentence should read: "so tired and weak."
    Correct sentence: Mrs. Gomathi was so tired and weak that she could scarcely walk.
    · Grammatical Rule Used: When expressing a cause-effect relationship, the correct structure is: so + adjective/adverb + that + clause.
    · Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: "That tired and weak" को "so tired and weak" से बदलना चाहिए। "so" का उपयोग किसी विशेषण को बढ़ाने के लिए किया जाता है।
