New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: to listen careful
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
Explanation: The error lies in using the adjective "careful" instead of the adverb "carefully" to modify the verb "listen". Adjectives modify nouns, and adverbs modify verbs. In English, it's common to use adverbs to describe how an action is performed. So, the correct construction is "to listen carefully" to convey the manner in which the listening should take place.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: I would like you to listen carefully to what I am saying.
