The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with an adverbial usage error.
Mr. Joe remarked / that the audience / brightly listened / to the speech.

Correct option is D

The segment with the adverbial usage error is (d) brightly listened.
Correct sentence: Mr. Joe remarked that the audience attentively listened to the speech.
Explanation:
The verb "listened" should be modified by an adverb that describes the manner of listening. "Brightly" describes light or mood, not manner of listening. The correct adverb is "attentively" meaning carefully.
Grammatical Rule (Verb + Appropriate Adverb):
When modifying an action verb, the adverb must logically match the type of action (e.g., "listen attentively" not "listen brightly").
Hindi Explanation:
सुनने जैसी क्रिया का वर्णन करने के लिए "attentively" जैसे adverb का प्रयोग होता है। "Brightly" का प्रयोग प्रकाश या खुशी के लिए किया जाता है, न कि सुनने के तरीके के लिए।
Meanings of all other options:
· To the speech: Prepositional phrase, correct usage.
Hindi: भाषण को ✅
· Mr. Joe remarked: Verb and subject correct.
Hindi: श्री जो ने टिप्पणी की ✅
· That the audience: Correct subject clause.
Hindi: कि श्रोता ✅
