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).
