    Question

    The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
    The windows / violent banged / during the / storm yesterday.

    A.

    The windows

    B.

    violent banged

    C.

    during the

    D.

    storm yesterday

    Correct option is B

    Option (b) contains an error.
    The phrase "violent banged" is incorrect because:
    "Violent" is an adjective, and adjectives are used to describe nouns.
    However, in this sentence, the adjective "violent" is incorrectly being used to modify the verb "banged."
    To modify the verb "banged," an adverb is required. The correct adverb form of "violent" is "violently."
    Correct Sentence:
    The windows violently banged during the storm yesterday.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
    · Adjectives describe or modify nouns or pronouns.
    · A verb must be modified by an adverb, not an adjective.
    · क्रिया विशेषण (Adverb): यह क्रिया (Verb), विशेषण (Adjective), या किसी अन्य क्रिया विशेषण की विशेषता बताता है।
    · विशेषण (Adjective): यह केवल संज्ञा (Noun) या सर्वनाम (Pronoun) की विशेषता बताता है।
    · क्रिया (Verb) को विशेषण (Adjective) से नहीं बल्कि क्रिया विशेषण (Adverb) से परिभाषित किया जाता है।
    Examples:
    · Incorrect: She sings beautiful.
    · Correct: She sings beautifully.
    Structure:
    · Adjective + Noun → Describes a noun.
    · Example: He is a violent man.
    · Adverb + Verb → Modifies a verb.
    · Example: He shouted violently.
