In the following question, a sentence is given with a part highlighted. Choose the option that gives the correct replacement of the highlighted portion and makes the sentence grammatically and contextually meaningful.

Without the exaggerate theatrics, the play would have been boring to watch.

Correct option is A

The adverb “exaggerated” should be used instead of the verb, “exaggerate”, as the word has been used in the sentence for modifying “theatrics”, a noun. No other options give the required correction and thus any variations in those options are thus redundant.
