Question

A part in the following sentences is underlined, which may or may not be incorrect. Read the sentences in order to see whether it needs an improvement, then find out the answer option which when used improves the sentence
He spoke to me very friendly in the party

• A. in a mild friendly manner
• B. with a mild friendly manner
• C. in a very friendly manner
• D. in a smoothing friendly manner

Hint:

Consider which verb pairs naturally with "the traffic" in this context.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

"Friendly" is an adjective, and adjectives can't directly modify a verb like "spoke", so describing how someone spoke requires an adverbial phrase such as "in a [adjective] manner".
The correctly improved sentence reads "in a very friendly manner", using "friendly" as an adjective describing "manner" and "very" as an intensifier in front of it.
Options 1 and 4 change the intended meaning, and option 2 uses the wrong preposition "with" instead of "in", which leaves option 3 as the correct improvement.
