Question

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with an adverbial usage error.
Christopher told Mathew, / "Politely, she / takes the bus / to work."

A.

"Politely, she

B.

takes the bus

C.

Christopher told Mathew,

D.

to work."

Correct option is A


Segment (a) "Politely, she" contains the adverbial usage error.
Explanation:
The adverb "politely" is incorrectly placed. It should be placed immediately before the verb it modifies. The correct form would be:
“She politely takes the bus...”
Correct sentence:
Christopher told Mathew, “She politely takes the bus to work.”
Grammatical Rule Used:
Adverb Placement – Adverbs of manner (like politely) usually come after the subject and before the main verb (except when the verb is “to be”).
Explanation in Hindi:
"Politely" एक manner adverb है, जो यह दर्शाता है कि कार्य कैसे किया गया। इसे क्रिया के पहले या बाद में रखा जाता है, जैसे – She politely answered the question.
