Correct Answer: frequently
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

  • - In the provided sentence, an adverb with a connotation similar to'regularly' is required.
  • - 'Sometimes' indicates on occasion, not all of the time.
  • - 'Seldom' indicates infrequently.
  • - 'Frequently' means on a regular or habitual basis; frequently.
  • - 'Rarely' means infrequently; infrequently.
  • - As a result, to make the sentence grammatically correct, the word 'frequently' should be used.
  • - As a result, the right answer is 'frequently'.

Correct sentence: I always check my sums because I frequently make mistakes.

  • Adverbs are words that modify (describe) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (extremely tall), another adverb (ended too fast), or even a whole phrase (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella).
  • - Adverbs frequently end in -ly, however some (such as fast) appear identical to their adjective equivalents.
