Correct Answer: If you try hard


Solution : The first option is correct.

The sentence contains the incorrect form of an adverb, which should be replaced with the correct form of an adjective to make the sentence grammatically accurate. Thus, hardly should be replaced with hard , as they both have different meanings. Hardly means barely, whereas hard is used to describe difficulty, making it the appropriate choice for the sentence. This helps convey the intended meaning that the match can be won by him, provided he participates with too much commitment.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "I am sure you can win the match if you try hard ".
