    Question

    The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error.
    The helicopter of the enemies / hovered exact / over their bunker.

    A.

    No error

    B.

    hovered exact

    C.

    The helicopter of the enemies

    D.

    over their bunker.

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Error Explanation: The word “exact” is an adjective, but here an adverb is needed to describe the verb “hovered.”
    The correct form is “exactly.”
    Correct sentence: The helicopter of the enemies hovered exactly over their bunker.
    Grammatical rule used:
    An adverb is required to modify a verb (hovered). Adjectives modify nouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
    Example:
    ❌ She danced graceful.
    ✅ She danced gracefully.
    �� Information Booster:
    ✔ Adverbs often end in -ly, and their position in a sentence is typically next to the verb they modify.
