Question

Identify the sentence with the INCORRECT usage of the adverb.

• A. The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts figurative.
• B. The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts angrily.
• C. The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts appropriately.
• D. The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts justly.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The teacher evaluated all the answer scripts figurative.

• This is a double error. • First, "figurative" is an adjective; it would need to be the adverb figuratively. • Second, even if it were an adverb, it makes no sense to evaluate test papers "figuratively" (metaphorically). • Correction: The teacher evaluated the scripts rigorously or fairly.
