Answer 1

Hint: Adverbs are the expressions that modify a verb, adjectives, determiners, clause, prepositions in the sentence. For example: He spoke sweetly. Adjectives modify noun or noun phrases. For example: She wore a beautiful dress.

Complete answer:
Option A) Rohini is bravely, she fights bravely – is an incorrect answer because ‘Rohini is bravely’ is grammatically incorrect as ‘bravely’ is used as an adverb instead of adjective and ‘she fights bravely’ is the correct clause. Thus, we will consider this as an incorrect option.

Option B) Rohini is brave, she fights brave – is an incorrect answer because ‘Rohini is brave’ is the correct clause because ‘brave’ is the adjective and it is correctly used in first clause and in the second clause ‘she fights brave’ is grammatically incorrect because instead of adjective, adverb should be used. Thus, we will consider this as an incorrect option.

Option C) Rohini is brave, she fights bravely – is the correct answer because this sentence is grammatically correct because in first clause ‘brave’ is used that is adjective is used and in the second clause adverb is correctly used that is ‘bravely’. So, both the clauses are correct. Therefore, we will consider this as the correct option.

Option D) Rohini is bravely, she fights brave – is an incorrect answer because in the first clause ‘bravely’ is used. Here, we will not use adverbs instead we will use adjectives and in the second clause ‘she fights brave’ is grammatically incorrect because instead of adjectives, adverbs should be used. Thus, we will consider this as an incorrect option.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’ i.e, Rohini is brave, she fights bravely.

Note: Adverbs end with ‘ly’ in the end of the word. Such as quickly, softly, loudly, beautifully and etc. On the other hand, an adjective modifies the noun. For example: Hema is cute. Here, in this example: Hema is the noun and ‘cute’ explains how she is. Hence, cute is the adjective.
Raja fought bravely: Here, Raja is the noun and Fought is the verb, bravely describes how he fought. Hence, this is an adverb.
