Question

which of the following sentences is written correctly?
the team played good in their championship game so they won.
the drum major performed badly because she forgot the routine.
ivan feels well about his choice to join the after-school program.
the gymnasts felt badly because they had skipped breakfast.

Explanation:

1. For the first sentence: "good" is an adjective, but we need the adverb "well" to modify the verb "played".
2. For the second sentence: "badly" is an adverb that correctly modifies the verb "performed", matching the context of a poor performance due to forgetting a routine.
3. For the third sentence: "well" here incorrectly refers to an emotional state; the adjective "good" should be used with "feels" to describe a subjective feeling.
4. For the fourth sentence: "badly" is an adverb, but "felt" links to a physical state (hunger), so the adjective "bad" should be used instead.

Answer:

The drum major performed badly because she forgot the routine.
