Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (C) and (D) only
(A) The water in this tank is too cold. — Correct. Too before an adjective means more than is wanted; the subject "The water" is singular and takes "is".
(B) No one hardly goes to the temple daily — Incorrect. "No one" and "hardly" are both negative, so the sentence has a double negative.
Correct form: Hardly anyone goes to the temple daily.
(C) He performed badly in the second match. — Correct. The adverb badly describes the verb "performed" (how he performed).
(D) She died peacefully yesterday after a prolonged illness. — Correct. The adverb of manner peacefully comes after the verb, followed by the time "yesterday", in the normal order.
