Spot the error. All the students (A) were offered (B) the sweets; however, (C) John ate them greedy. (D)
Correct answer: D. Greedy
- A. All the students
- B. were offered
- C. however
- D. Greedy
Explanation
The error is in option D) Greedy.The correct sentence should read: "All the students were offered the sweets; however, John ate them greedily."The error is that "greedily" is an adverb that modifies the verb "ate", indicating the manner in which John ate the sweets. "Greedy" is an adjective that describes a person, not an action.
