Correct Answer: He sat down in a darkly comer
Solution : The right choice is the third option .
The error in the phrase in a darkly corner is a grammatical one. The word darkly is an adverb, but in this context, you need an adjective to describe the type of corner. The correct adjective is dark. Adjectives modify nouns, while adverbs typically modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Hence, the corrected sentence would be: "He sat down in a dark corner , covered his face, and would not say a single word to anyone."
