During winters in Delhi, flights are oftenly cancelled due to heavy fog.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. oftenly cancelled.
- The word "oftenly" is incorrect. The correct adverb is "often".
- The correct sentence will be "During winters in Delhi, flights are often cancelled due to heavy fog."
- "Often" is the correct adverb to use here to indicate frequency.
- "Cancelled" is the correct past participle form of the verb "cancel."
- This phrase correctly explains the reason for the cancellations.
Therefore, the error uses "oftenly" instead of "often."
