    Here “Fast” is an adverb because it is describing a verb
    (runs).
    Adverbs with the Verb
    Placement Example

    before the verb  Happily she ran over the sand dunes.


    Tearfully, he told his brother the whole story.

    after the verb She ran happily over the sand dunes.


    He was telling the whole story tearfully to his brother.

    between the auxiliary He was happily running about over the sand dunes.


    and the main verb. He was tearfully telling the whole story to his brother.
    Read the sentence to find out if there is any
    error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of
    the sentence. The number of that part will be
    the answer. If there is no error, then the answer
    is (E). Ignore errors of punctuations, if any.
    1. The driver tried his best (A)/ to avert the
    accident by (B)/ bringing the car (C)/ to a
    suddenly stop (D)/ No error (E)

    Answer Explanation: The error is in part D


    as the adjective sudden needs to be used
    in place of suddenly.
    2. The technician reminded (A)/ them to
    have a thoroughly (B)/ cleaning of the
    (C)/ machine after each use (D)/ No Error
    (E)

    Answer Explanation: The error is in part


    B as the adjective through needs to be
    used in place of thoroughly
    3. Watch (A)/how careful (B)/ the sparrow
    knits (C)/the straws to form a nest. (D)/ No
    error (E)

    Answer Explanation: Here in this sentence


    ‘careful’ is an adjective which should be
    replaced by ‘carefully’ which is an adverb to
    make the sentence grammatically correct. So
    option B is the correct answer.
    4. The children (A)/ have been practicing (B)/
    hardly for their (3)/ school Sports Day and so
    they deserve the first prize (D)/ No Error(E)

    Answer Explanation: The error is in option


    C, as the adverb required here is 'hard'
    meaning practicing 'sincerely' or 'a lot',
    'hardly' means 'not at all' or 'very little'.
