Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. aimed highly.
- The second part of the given sentence is erroneous in nature.
- It violates the standard word order in English sentences.
- In English, adverbs usually come after the verb they modify.
- However, in the given sentence, "aimed highly" places the adverb "highly" before the verb "aimed."
- Moreover, instead of an adverb, the sentence demanded a noun to not hinder to make the sentence both grammatically and contextually correct.
Thus, the correct sentence would be:
He always aimed high in life.
