It feels greatly to be with you at this ceremony.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., It feels greatly.

  • The use of the word 'greatly' is erroneous.
  • The word "greatly" is an adverb and it modifies verbs.
  • In this sentence, it's not modifying a verb, it's modifying the word "feels," which is a linking verb.
  • Linking verbs don't take adverbs as direct modifiers.
  • The correct form would be to use an adjective, such as "It feels great to be with you at this ceremony.

The correct sentence is"It feels great to be with you at this ceremony."
