Question

Spot the error part of the following sentence.

• A. She
• B. went
• C. straightly
• D. home
• E. No error

Hint:

Some words like textbfstraight, textbffast, and textbfhard function as both adjectives and adverbs. Do not add “-ly” unnecessarily.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Read the sentence as a whole. \textit{“She went straightly home.”} Step 2: Identify the incorrect word. The adverb “straightly” means \emph{strictly} or \emph{rigidly}, which does not fit the context of direction or movement. Step 3: Use the correct form. The correct word should be “straight”, which is commonly used as an adverb of direction (e.g., \emph{go straight home}). Step 4: Final conclusion. The error is in part \(\boxed{\text{(C)}}\).
