Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Nila arrives always on time for meetings.
Error Concept: Incorrect placement of the adverb.
What is wrong: The adverb “always” is placed after the verb “arrives,” which is grammatically incorrect in standard English.
Grammatical Concept: Adverbs of frequency (always, never, usually, often, etc.) are typically placed before the main verb but after the auxiliary verb (if present).
Incorrectness of the concept in context: “Arrives always” sounds unnatural and violates standard adverb placement rules.
How to correct: Move the adverb before the main verb.
Correct phrase/correction: Nila always arrives on time for meetings.
Final Sentence: Nila always arrives on time for meetings.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
