Question:

Choose the sentence with the correct use of the Adverb.

A. Arvind came latter than Sujit.
B. Arvind came later than Sujit.
C. Arvind came early than Sujit.
D. Arvind came soon than Sujit.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A

B

C

D

Correct Answer:

B

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - B

The correct answer is: B. Arvind came later than Sujit.

  • "Later" is the correct adverb here because it is the comparative form of "late," used when comparing two events.
  • "Than" is correctly used after a comparative adjective/adverb to make a comparison.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • A. "Arvind came latter than Sujit."  → "Latter" is used to refer to the second of two things mentioned, not for time comparison.
  • C. "Arvind came early than Sujit."  → The correct phrase should be "earlier than", as "early" needs a comparative form.
  • D. "Arvind came soon than Sujit."  → The correct phrase should be "sooner than", as "soon" also needs a comparative form.
