The correct answer is C.

Key Points

  • An adverb is a word that describes a verb, an adjective, another adverb or even a whole sentence.
  • Generally, an adverb is formed by adding the suffix '-ly' to an adjective.
    • Example: 
       
      Adjective Adverb
      Soft Softly
      Extreme Extremely
      Clear Clearly
  • But, certain words work as an adjective as well as an adverb.
    • Such words are: fast, hard, straight, direct, late, etc.
    • Example: He works hard. (Adverb)

                                     He was given a hard task. (Adjective)

  • So, 'fastly' should be replaced with 'fast' in part C of the sentence.


Correct sentence: He hurt himself yesterday while running very fast.
Important Points

    Free not held or controlled
    Freely with freedom or willingly
