Identify the best way to improve the underlined part of the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘no improvement’.

As the sun began to set, Robin dragged lazily her bag and went to his room to take a nap.


Correct Answer : c ) Robin lazily dragged

Placement of the adverb ‘lazily’ is inappropriate.

Adverb ‘lazily’ will be used just before the verb as it qualifies the action word itself.

The correct phrase is ‘Robin lazily dragged’.
