Word to modify: good (Incorrectly used as an adverb)
Grammatical Concept: Adjective vs. Adverb
The word 'good' is an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns (e.g., 'He is a good speaker').
The word 'well' is an adverb. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this sentence, we need a word to modify the verb 'speaks' to describe how he speaks. Therefore, we must use the adverbial form.
Correct Sentence: He speaks English well.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
