Question

    Select the option that corrects the error in the given

    sentence. She sings very sweet in the choir every Sunday.
    A sweetness Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B sweeter Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C sweeting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D sweetly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word "sings" is a verb and needs to be modified by an adverb, not an adjective.
    "Sweet" is an adjective, whereas "sweetly" is the correct adverb form that tells how she sings.
    "Sweetness" is a noun, "sweeter" is a comparative adjective, and "sweeting" is not appropriate in this context.
