Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
He studied (1) / so hardly (2) / he was sure of passing. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Hardly is an adverb that means only just, which is not the correct choice, and it should be replaced with the adjective hard to convey that he studied so rigorously that he was sure that he would pass.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He studied so hard, he was sure of passing.
