Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
She can draw very well and just as creative.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. as creatively
- The error in the original sentence lies in the use of the adjective "creative" instead of the adverb "creatively" when comparing her drawing skills.
- In English, when making comparisons with adverbs, the adverbial form is needed to maintain grammatical accuracy and parallel structure.
- Correct Sentence: She can draw very well and just as creatively.
- The original segment is corrected by substituting "creative" with "creatively" to maintain parallelism in the sentence.
- The corrected sentence ensures parallel construction by using "as creatively" to match the structure of "very well."
