Question

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with an adverbial usage error.
Nicholas and / his team / violently worked / on the project.

A.

his team

B.

Nicholas and

C.

on the project

D.

violently worked

Correct option is D

Option (d) contains the adverbial usage error.
Explanation: The adverb “violently” means with force or aggression. It is inappropriate to describe the verb “worked,” which is generally positive and constructive.
Correct usage: An appropriate adverb would be “diligently,” “earnestly,” or “efficiently.”
Corrected version: Nicholas and his team diligently worked on the project.
�� Information Booster: Always ensure adverbs match the context and tone of the verb. “Violently” is used for forceful actions like hitting, attacking—not working.
