Identify the segment in which an adjective is used incorrectly.

(A) The sprawling Japanese culture of anime often explores (B) deeply mature themes targeted toward an older (C) audience, unlike extreme simplistic digestible (D) cartoons.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (D) audience, unlike extreme simplistic digestible

Concept (Adjective को modify करने वाला Adverb: extremely): किसी Adjective को modify करने के लिए Adverb आता है, दूसरा Adjective नहीं। यहाँ 'simplistic' Adjective को modify किया जा रहा है, इसलिए 'extreme' (Adjective) के स्थान पर 'extremely' (Adverb) आएगा।
✓ सुधरा हुआ भाग (C): unlike extremely simplistic, digestible cartoons.
अन्य भाग सही हैं: 'deeply mature' में Adverb एक Adjective को modify कर रहा है।
Examiner का जाल: 'simplistic' से पहले Adjective 'extreme' लगा देना।
Concept (Adverb to modify an adjective: extremely): an adjective is modified by an adverb, not by another adjective. Here 'simplistic' is the adjective being modified, so 'extreme' (an adjective) must become 'extremely' (an adverb).
✓ Segment (C) corrected: unlike extremely simplistic, digestible cartoons.
The other segments are correct: 'deeply mature' is an adverb modifying an adjective.
Exam trap: using the adjective 'extreme' before another adjective, 'simplistic'.
