(A) While teaching, / (B) she draws the diagrams very careful / (C) on the board.
Detailed Solution & Logic
B
Explanation:
The error is in part (B): “she draws the diagrams very careful”
The word “careful” is an adjective, but here we need an adverb because it is modifying the verb “draws”.
✔ Correct word: carefully (adverb)
Correct sentence:
While teaching, she draws the diagrams very carefully on the board.
Why other parts are correct:
- ✔ (A) “While teaching,” → correct phrase
- ✔ (C) “on the board.” → correct prepositional phrase
Extra Facts (Important for Exams):
📌 Adjective vs Adverb Rule:
- Adjective → describes noun (careful person)
- Adverb → describes verb (draw carefully)
👉 Common mistake:
- ❌ She speaks careful
- ✔ She speaks carefully
