Answer (1)

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: sharply decreased

Solution : The second option is correct.

The adverb sharply correctly modifies the verb decreased t o indicate the extent of the decrease.
The original sentence incorrectly uses the adjective sharp instead of the adverb.
Adjectives describe nouns, while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
In this case, the adjective sharp would require a noun to be modified, such as sharp decline instead of sharp decreased .
