Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. B.
Error concept: Incorrect adverb usage
What is wrong: The word careful is an adjective, but it is used to modify the verb draws, which requires an adverb.
Grammatical concept: Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: “very careful” should be very carefully to correctly describe how she draws the diagrams.
How to correct: Replace very careful with very carefully.
Correct phrase/ correction: she draws the diagrams very carefully
Final sentence: While teaching, she draws the diagrams very carefully on the board.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
