Question #3 Report Error

Which sentence uses an adjective as an adverb incorrectly?

A. They arrived late.

B. She speaks loud.

C. He runs fast.

D. He works hard.

View Answer & Solution Discuss

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
'Loud' can be an adverb in informal contexts (speak loud) but standard requires 'loudly'. However, 'fast', 'hard', 'late' are flat adverbs. So 'speaks loud' is acceptable; but many exams consider 'speak loudly' correct. I'll choose 'speaks loud' as incorrect in formal English. I'll adjust: 'She speaks loud' is often marked incorrect; correct is 'loudly'. I'll keep.
