Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. get extreme cold.
- Option 4 has the grammatically incorrect part.
- “Cold” is an adjective so we need an adverb to modify it but “extreme” is also an adjective, hence wrong.
- The correct adverb to use here is “extremely”.
- The correct sentence will be “It can get extremely cold during the winter”.
