Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. C
Error concept: Wrong use of adjective placement
What is wrong: The phrase “beautiful in the party” is incorrect.
Grammatical concept: Adjectives should correctly describe the noun. Here, it should be “beautifully” to modify the verb sings.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: Using beautiful (adjective) instead of beautifully (adverb) is grammatically wrong because we need an adverb to describe how she sings.
How to correct: Replace beautiful with beautifully.
Correct phrase/ correction: beautifully in the party
Final sentence: She sings the song beautifully in the party.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
