• B. slowed
• C. slowly
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C slowly

'Adverb' is a word that is used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a clause or another adverb.

In the given sentence, the verb is 'walk' and 'slow' is the style of walking.

Option C - 'slowly' is an adverb which describes the verb 'walk'.

On the other hand, Option A - 'slow' is an adjective which can modify a noun, but not the verb.

Option B - 'slowed' is verb form in its past tense which can not modify another verb.

Therefore, the suitable option to complete the given sentence is : Option C - 'slowly'.

The completed sentence, thus, becomes : If you walk so slowly you will miss the bus.
