Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
Nobody has ever listened to me so attentive.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. so attentive.
- In the sentence, "attentive" is an adjective, but what is needed here is an adverb to modify the verb "listened."
- Adverbs describe how an action is performed, so "attentively" is the correct form.
- Thus, the corrected sentence should be: "Nobody has ever listened to me so attentively." This use of the adverb properly describes how the listening is done.
