D and E only

Correct Answer:

A and E only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → A and E only

 

  • A. The moon shine bright in the day.

    • Incorrect: The verb "shine" requires the adverb "brightly," not "bright." Corrected: The moon shines brightly in the day.
  • B. You are pretty mistaken about him.

    • Correct: The use of "pretty" as an adverb here means "quite" or "fairly," which is acceptable.
  • C. He never comes late.

    • Correct: The adverb "late" is correctly used here.
  • D. It would hardly rain today.

    • Correct: The adverb "hardly" is used appropriately to express doubt.
  • E. They have ran more faster than the dog.

    • Incorrect: The phrase "more faster" is incorrect because "faster" is already a comparative form. Corrected: They have run faster than the dog.
