SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q167

Identify the error in the sentence.

He is a fastly growing leader in the organization.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

In English grammar, "fastly" is not a recognized word.

Adverb Form: The word ‘fast’ functions as both an adjective (e.g., "a fast car") and an adverb (e.g., "he ran fast"). It does not require the "-ly" suffix to become an adverb.

Correction: The sentence should be corrected to: "He is a fast-growing leader in the organization."
