Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
I am sure you can win the match if you try hardly,
Option 1: If you try hard
Option 2: if you are trying hardly
Option 3: if you trying hard
Option 4: if you will try hardly
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 ".
