Question

Which of the following sentences contains an adverbial error?

A.

The teacher spoke clear and concise.

B.

He sang beautifully at the talent show.

C.

They danced gracefully across the stage.

D.

She writes slowly and steadily.

Correct option is A


Option (a) contains an error.
Explanation: “Clear” and “concise” are adjectives. Since the verb is “spoke,” adverbs should be used — “clearly and concisely.”
Grammatical rule used: Adverbs modify verbs and should be used in speech contexts.
Example: She spoke clearly and confidently at the seminar.
