The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
The windows / violent banged / during the / storm yesterday.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. violent banged.
The word "violent" is an adjective, which describes nouns, whereas "violently" is an adverb, which modifies verbs. In the sentence, "banged" is a verb, so it should be modified by the adverb "violently" rather than the adjective "violent." Therefore, the correct phrase is "banged violently" instead of "violent banged."
