Correct option is C
Option (c) contains the error.
Explanation: The word
“quiet” (adjective) is incorrectly used instead of
“quietly” (adverb). It should be “The cat
quietly stalked its prey.”
Grammatical Rule Used:
✔ Adverbs modify verbs and describe how something is done. Use adverbs like
quickly,
quietly, etc., not adjectives.
Example:
✘ He spoke soft.
✔ He spoke
softly.

Information Booster:
Common adverbial errors include confusing adjectives (quiet, loud) with adverbs (quietly, loudly).
