Neem tastes / a little bitterly, / but is very useful.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. a little bitterly.

The correct phrase should be "a little bitter" instead of "a little bitterly."

The word "bitter" is an adjective used to describe the taste of neem, so it should not be modified by the adverb "bitterly."

Therefore, the corrected segment should read: "Neem tastes a little bitter, but is very useful."
