Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. leave the hotel quickly.
- An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella).
- Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.
- An adverb is used at the three places in a sentence (at the starting, between the auxiliary verb and main verb and at the end of the statement).
- If a transitive verb comes with an object, we use the adverb at the end of the statement.
- The chosen option follows the given rules hence, it will IMPROVE the statement correctly.
Correct Sentence:-
He decided to leave the hotel quickly.
