The hotels were heavy booked for the festival in Banaras.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Correct answer is Option 3 i.e were heavily booked.

The adjective heavy is modifying booked, instead of modifying a noun or a pronoun.

An adverb is used to modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

Hence, the adverb heavily will be used.

Correct sentence: The hotels were heavily booked for the festival in Banaras.
