Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The original sentence is almost correct but needs a minor adjustment. The adverb "quickly" should come after the verb "clean" to specify how the action is performed. Therefore, the improved sentence reads, "The warden told the boys to clean their rooms quickly ." This choice follows proper grammar rules and maintains the intended meaning.

Hence, the correct choice is "clean their room quickly."
