Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
Raman ate the cake and exclaimed that it tasted sweetly.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. it tasted sweetly.
The word "sweetly" is an adverb that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, indicating manner or quality.
However, in this context, it is used to describe the taste of the cake, which is incorrect.
Instead, the correct word to describe the taste of the cake should be "sweet," an adjective, rather than "sweetly."
