Correct Answer: If you walk fastly


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option .

The sentence contains the wrong adverbial form. The correct adverbial form is fast to modify the verb walk . This helps convey the intended meaning that the person can reach the destination in 40 minutes provided he walks quickly.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If you walk fast , you can manage to reach your destination in forty minutes."
