Correct Answer: He speaks pleasantly


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The error is in the use of the present tense "speaks" with the time expression "yesterday". When referring to a specific past time, the past tense should be used.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He spoke pleasantly with her yesterday evening, but not today."
