Correct Answer: a little bitterly


Solution : The first option is correct.

The corrected sentence should be: " Neem tastes a little bitter, but is very useful ."

The error is in the use of the adverb bitterly after a little . The correct adjective form to describe the taste of neem is bitter , so the adverb bitterly is unnecessary in this context. The phrase should be a little bitter to convey the intended meaning.
