The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with an adverbial usage error.
On the occasion of Teacher’s Day, / the students of the community school / light applauded the performance / of the teachers.

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an adverbial usage error.
Error Explanation: The word “light” is an adjective, but we need an adverb to describe the verb “applauded.” The correct word is “lightly.”
Correct sentence: “lightly applauded the performance”
Grammatical rule used: An adverb is used to modify a verb and typically ends in -ly.
Example: She smiled sweetly.
�� Information Booster: Words like “soft,” “hard,” “fast” can be both adjectives and adverbs, but “light” needs to become “lightly” to act as an adverb.
