Question : Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
Raman ate the cake and exclaimed that it tasted sweetly.
Option 1: the cake
Option 2: and exclaimed that
Option 3: it tasted sweetly
Option 4: Raman ate
Correct Answer: it tasted sweetly
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The adverb sweetly is incorrect in this context. Adverbs modify verbs, and in this case, sweetly is used to modify the verb tasted. However, when describing taste, adjectives should be used instead. The correct adjective for taste in this context is sweet.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Raman ate the cake and exclaimed that it tasted sweet ."
