Question : Select the segment in which a word has been INCORRECTLY used.
The children were so exhausted that they sank warily into bed.
Option 1: warily into bed
Option 2: The children
Option 3: were so exhausted
Option 4: that they sank
Correct Answer: warily into bed
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
The word warily means cautiously or with caution. It doesn't fit well in the context of the sentence. The intention seems to be to express extreme tiredness, and using warily suggests a cautious or suspicious action, which is not appropriate in this context. A more suitable word might be wearily, which means extreme tiredness or fatigue.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The children were so exhausted that they sank wearily into bed".
