PYQ
Select the sentence with the appropriate use of adverb of manner.
aHe done his work regularly
bHe has just done his work
cHe does his work carefully
dHe has done his work on my table
✓ Correct answer: c) He does his work carefully
ExplanationThe Correct Answer: Option C — He does his work carefully.Explanation: "Carefully" is an adverb of manner because it describes how or in what way the work is done.Adverbs of manner answer the question "How?" and typically end in "-ly." In this sentence, "carefully" tells us the manner in which he does his work - with care and attention.The other options: Option A has a grammar error ("done" should be "does") and "regularly" is an adverb of frequency, not manner.Option B uses "just" which is an adverb of time, not manner.Option D uses "on my table" which is an adverbial phrase of place, not manner.Additional Info: Wo rd Part s of Spee ch Hindi Mean ing (हिन्दी अर्थ) Usage / Functio n Example Reg ula rly Adve rb (Freq uenc y) नियमित रूप से Tells how often somethi ng happen s She exercises regularly.(वह नियमित रूप से व्याायाम करती है।) Just Adve rb (Time ) अभी, बस Tells when somethi ng happen ed I have just arrived.(मैं अभी पहुंचा हूँ।) Wo rd Part s of Spee ch Hindi Mean ing (हिन्दी अर्थ) Usage / Functio n Example (recentl y) Car efu lly Adve rb (Man ner) सावधा नीपूर्वक , ध्यान से Tells how/in what way somethi ng is done Drive carefully.(सावधानी से गाड़ीी चलाओ।) On my tab le Adve rbial phra se (Plac e) मेरी मेज पर Tells where somethi ng happen s The book is on my table.(किताब मेरी मेज पर है।)
