She made a quickly decision without thinking.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Error: In the phrase "a quickly decision," the word quickly is an adverb. Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but they cannot modify nouns.
The Correct Part of Speech: Since "decision" is a noun, it must be modified by an adjective.
The Correction: The sentence should use the adjective quick instead of the adverb quickly.
