Correct option is D
The error lies in
(d) soundly slept.
· The verb phrase
"soundly slept" is incorrectly placed. In formal English, the adverb
"soundly" should come after
"had slept" to maintain proper structure:
"had slept soundly."
Correct sentence: His energetic attitude showed that he had slept soundly the previous night.
·
Grammatical Rule Used: Adverbs like
"soundly" usually follow the main verb in perfect tenses.
·
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: परिपूर्ण काल (Perfect Tense) में क्रिया के बाद क्रिया विशेषण का प्रयोग किया जाता है, जैसे "slept soundly"। "Soundly slept" व्याकरणिक रूप से गलत है।
