Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The phrase "the competition went on smooth" is incorrect.
- The word "smooth" should be replaced with the adverb "smoothly" to describe how the competition went on.
- Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and in this context, "smoothly" correctly modifies the verb "went on".
- Thus, the error is located in Option 2 of the sentence.
- Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
- Option 1: "I felt bad" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- Option 3: "losing it" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
- Option 4: "we reached late" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
