SPOT THE ERRORThe little boy held his father's hand hardly; he didn't want to lose him.
Correct answer: C. ''hardly''
- A. "little"
- B. "held"
- C. ''hardly''
- D. ''to lose''
Explanation
"hardly," is the error. It should be replaced with "tightly" to convey the intended meaning. "Hardly" means scarcely or barely, which does not fit the context. The correct adverb to describe the manner in which the boy held his father's hand is "tightly."
