Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

She finished her quickly breakfast and rushed to school.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. finished her breakfast quickly.

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Here, "quickly" is meant to describe how she "finished" her breakfast (the verb), not the noun "breakfast."

Adverbs like "quickly" can appear either immediately after the verb or at the end of the sentence, depending on emphasis or style.

Hence, the correct sentence is:- She finished her breakfast quickly and rushed to school.
