Question

The given sentence is divided into four segments. Select the option that has the segment with an adverbial usage error.

A.

Clara fled

B.

angry dog.

C.

from the

D.

frequent,

Correct option is D


The segment with the adverbial usage error is (d) frequent.
Correct sentence:
Clara fled from the frequently angry dog.
Explanation:
“Frequent” is an adjective, but here we need an adverb to modify the phrase about the dog's behavior. The correct adverb form is “frequently.”
Grammatical Rule Used:
When describing how often an action or state occurs, use adverbs of frequency like “frequently” instead of adjectives like “frequent.”
Hindi Explanation:
यहाँ “frequent” का प्रयोग गलत है क्योंकि हमें क्रिया “angry dog” के व्यवहार की आवृत्ति बतानी है, जिसके लिए “frequently” (adverb) का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।
