SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q187

Identify the error in the sentence.

She danced graceful on stage during the annual show.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The word 'graceful' is an adjective, which is used to describe nouns (e.g., 'She is a graceful dancer').

In this sentence, the word must describe how she performed the action ('danced'). To modify a verb, we must use an adverb.

Correction: The correct adverbial form is 'gracefully.'

The corrected sentence should read:

'She danced gracefully on stage during the annual show.'
