Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: thorough before you go to bed
Explanation
• The error lies in the use of the adjective thorough.
• An adverb is required to modify the action verb brush, describing how the action should be performed.
• Therefore, the adverb thoroughly must replace the adjective thorough.
Corrected Sentence: Remember to brush your teeth thoroughly before you go to bed every single night without fail as instructed by the dentist.
