Correct Answer: aimed highly


Solution : The part that contains the error is the third option.

Explanation: The error lies in the adverb usage. While aimed is a verb and highly is an adverb, the adverb highly should modify an adjective, not a verb. In this context, the correct adverb should be high , not highly .

So, the correct sentence would be: "He always aimed high in life."
