Correct Answer: writing on his legal pad and aggressive


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The error lies in the use of the word aggressive in this context. The adverbial form aggressively is the correct choice here, which modifies the verb underlining to convey the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He spent a great deal of time writing on his legal pad and aggressively underlining whatever he was writing.
