Correct Answer: be punished immediate


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

  • The correct word should be immediately instead of immediate .
  • Immediate is an adjective, while "immediately" is an adverb.
  • Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, while adjectives modify nouns and pronouns.
  • In this sentence, we need an adverb to modify the verb punished to indicate when it should happen.
