    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    The students / and the teachers / worked hardly / to make the event a success.

    A.

    and the teachers

    B.

    worked hardly

    C.

    The students

    D.

    to make the event a success

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    Explanation: “Worked hardly” is incorrect. The correct phrase is “worked hard.”
    “Hardly” means barely or scarcely, which changes the meaning.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Use “hard” as an adverb to mean putting in great effort.
    Example: She worked hard to achieve her goals.
    Information Booster:
    · Hardly (adv.) = scarcely, almost not.
    · Hard (adv.) = with a lot of effort.
