Question

Sentence correction-I am fully aware that my wife is one of those who is totally committed to the family.

Answer 1

Step 1 — Analyze the sentence:
The given sentence is: I am fully aware that my wife is one of those who is totally committed to the family.
At first glance, the sentence structure is correct. The subject-verb agreement and the phrase "totally committed" make sense grammatically.

Step 2 — Identify the error:
The error is not grammatical but rather a spelling concern. The word totally may have been incorrectly spelled in the original version (possibly written as totaly with one “l”).

Step 3 — Correction:
The correct spelling is totally (with a double “l”). Thus, the corrected phrase should read: totally committed.

Step 4 — Conclude:
The sentence after correction is:
I am fully aware that my wife is one of those who is totally committed to the family.

Answer: The error lies in the spelling of totally, which must be written with double “l.”

Answer 2

This can be approached through the suffix rule that governs how "-ly" attaches to adjectives ending in "l," rather than simply recalling the correct spelling.

1. Base adjective: The adjective here is "total," which already ends in the letter "l."
2. Suffix rule: When "-ly" is added to form an adverb from an adjective ending in "l," the final "l" of the adjective is kept and the "l" from "-ly" is added on top, giving a double "l" overall, exactly as in "real" becoming "really."
3. Apply the rule: Applying the same rule to "total" gives "totally," with two "l"s, not a single "l" as "totaly."
4. Check the sentence: Everything else in the sentence, including subject-verb agreement and word order, is already correct, so the only issue is this spelling.

Applying the standard suffix rule for adjectives ending in "l" confirms that the adverb must carry a double "l."

Hence, the correct answer is that the word must be spelled totally.
