Question

correct error :
she narrated the story shortly

Answer 1

Hi... The ans must be Shortly-slowly

Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on adverbs.

The given sentence 'She narrated the story shortly.' has an error with the use of adverb 'shortly.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'shortly' as 'soon.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'briefly' as 'using few words or without giving a lot of details.'

From the above definitions, we can conclude that the adverb 'briefly' is more suitable for use in the given sentence.

So, the correct sentence is :

She narrated the story briefly.
