Choose the part of the sentence which has an error:
A. Students can easy
B. get loans under
C. the students' scholarship scheme
D. which was launched last year
E. No error
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A
Adverb, not adjective, with a verb:
- A verb is modified by an adverb, not by an adjective.
- "Easy" is an adjective. Its adverb is easily.
- This sentence: "can easy get loans" should be "can easily get loans".
Example: She solved the sum easily.
A. Students can easy — Error.
- "Easy" should be easily, an adverb modifying the verb "get".
- Correct form: Students can easily get loans under the students' scholarship scheme which was launched last year.
B. get loans under — No error.
- One gets a loan under a scheme.
C. the students' scholarship scheme — No error.
- The article the goes with the singular noun "scheme".
D. which was launched last year — No error.
- The simple past passive suits an action completed last year.
Contrast: an adjective describes a noun (an easy loan). An adverb tells how an action is done (get loans easily).
