Select the option that does NOT contain an adverb.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rohit loves chocolate.

Error concept: Identification of adverbs.

What is wrong: The sentence “Rohit loves chocolate” contains only a subject, verb, and object, with no adverb modifying any part of speech.

Grammatical concept:

  • Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often answering how, when, where, or to what extent.

Incorrectness of the concept in context: Since there is no word describing how, when, or to what extent in the sentence, it does not contain an adverb.

How to correct: Not applicable; the sentence simply lacks an adverb.

Final sentence: Rohit loves chocolate.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
