Correct Answer: and straightly


Solution : The first option is correct.

Explanation: The adverb form of straight is straight , not straightly . Adverbs are often formed by adding -ly to adjectives, but straight is an exception. It remains the same when used as an adverb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He does not know how to draw quickly and straight .
