3508. He hoped that he would learn to quickly run so that he could win the race, and be the best runner

• A. to quickly run
• B. so
• C. could win
• D. best runner

Explanation: 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 (quickly) will be used after because the main verb is "to run". Therefore, it should be "to run quickly" instead of "to quickly run. The error is in the placement of the adverb "quickly." The traditional rule is not to split an infinitive by placing an adverb between "to" and the base verb. The correct placement is "to run quickly".

This option had a parallelism mistake, parallelism is the repetition of grammatical elements in a piece of writing to create a harmonious effect which means when providing a list of items within a sentence, mention all of them in the same syntactic form so when slowly is used grammatically steadily should be used instead of steady. Moreover, many adverbs in the English language end with the suffix -ly, so "steadily" is the adverb form.
