Question

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with an adverbial usage error.
Mr. Andrew beautifully / approached the / podium for his / Ph.D. viva voce.

A.

Mr. Andrew beautifully

B.

approached the

C.

Ph.D. viva voce

D.

podium for his

Correct option is A

Option (a) contains the adverbial usage error.
Explanation: The verb "approached" indicates a movement or direction, which doesn’t pair naturally with the adverb "beautifully" (which is used for aesthetic actions). A more suitable adverb would be “ gracefully” or “ confidently”.
Corrected version: Mr. Andrew confidently approached the podium.
�� Information Booster: Choose adverbs based on context and the action they modify. “Beautifully” is best reserved for things like singing, painting, or writing.
