The children trying hardly and learnt the poems.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. tried hard.

  1. As there is no main verb after the subject in the statement first we need a main verb here.
  2. For qualifying, we need an adverb so "hard" will be used as the adverb here.
  3. As the chosen option follows both the rules it will be correct.

The correct sentence will be-

The children tried hard and learnt the poems.
