    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    (A) The cat quiet stalked its prey, / (B) moving stealthily through the tall grass, / (C) demonstrating its hunting skills / (D) with great precision and grace.

    A.

    C

    B.

    D

    C.

    A

    D.

    B

    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).
