Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. that he truthful.
The word "truthful" is an adjective, but in this context, an adverb is needed to describe the action of how he answered the questions.
The correct word should be "truthfully", which is the adverb form of "truthful", and it describes how he answered the questions (in a truthful manner).
Hence, the correct sentence is:- "It was noticed that he truthfully answered the questions raised by the Headmistress."
