    D She explained the concept patiently to the students. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In standard English syntax, adverbs like "patiently" should be placed before the verb or at the end of the sentence for clarity.Option 1 sounds awkward as "explained patiently" is not a natural word order.Options 3 and 4 are grammatically correct but slightly less fluid in comparison to option 2, which places the adverb before the verb for better readability.
