Correct answer: A. Boldly
- A. Boldly
- B. Go where
- C. So
- D. Brave
Explanation
The sentence has an error in option (a). Here's the corrected version:"I hope to go boldly where there is danger, so I can protect those around me who are not as brave as I am."The error is in the placement of the adverb "boldly." In English, adverbs are usually placed before the main verb but after auxiliary verbs (such as be, have, may, & must). The only exception is when the main verb is "to be", in which case the adverb goes after the main verb. So, here the adverb (boldly) will be used after because the main verb is "to go". The traditional rule is not to split an infinitive by placing an adverb between "to" and the base verb. The correct placement is "to go boldly".So, the corrected sentence is: "I hope to go boldly where there is danger, so I can protect those around me who are not as brave as I am."
