Q25. Identify the error in the given sentence.

His work was very neatly and carefully; yet, he could not win a prize.  

A. His work

B. Very neatly and careful

C. He could not

D. Win a prize

Solution:

Observe the given statement,

"His work was very neatly and carefully; yet, he could not win a prize."

Understand that, the statement is describing the quality of his work so adjectives like NEAT and CAREFUL should be used instead of the Adverbs NEATLY and CAREFULLY.

Therefore, the statement should be as follows:

"His work was very neat and careful; yet, he could not win a prize."

Hence, the correct answer is option B. i.e.,  Very neatly and careful.
