Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice to improve the bracketed part of the sentence is the second option.
Explanation: This option is the correct improvement. It provides a clear and concise way to express the speed at which the person likes to drive. An hour is the appropriate unit of time in this context.
Every hour introduces the word every which changes the meaning slightly. It suggests that the person drives his car at this speed every hour. Hence, it is incorrect to use
Hourly means something occurs every hour which is not the intended meaning of the sentence. Thus, it is incorrect to use.
