    Question

    Select the option that corrects the error in the given

    sentence. She speaks loud in the meeting.
    A loudness Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B louder Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C loudly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D loudest Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In the sentence, speaks is a verb, so it should be followed by an adverb to describe how the action is performed.
    Loud is an adjective, so it cannot correctly modify the verb speaks.
    Loudly is the correct adverb form to modify the verb.
    Loudness is a noun and does not fit here.
    Louder and loudest are comparative and superlative adjectives and do not fit the sentence structure.
    Hence, the correct correction is loudly.
