She spoke (1)/ concise during the press briefing (2)/ to ensure the journalists (3)/ captured the key points accurately. (4)/
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (2)
Error Concept: related to the use of incorrect form of adjective/adverb.
What is wrong: The word “concise” is incorrectly used.
Grammar Concept: After a verb like “spoke”, we need an adverb (not adjective) to describe how the action is performed.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Here, “concise” is an adjective, but we need its adverb form.
Correction: Thus, “concise” should be replaced with “concisely”.
Corrected phrase: spoke concisely
Final sentence: She spoke concisely during the press briefing to ensure the journalists captured the key points accurately.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
