ANSWER: 4
Replace
'vividly' with
'vivid'.
Here, 'vividly' is an adverb, which cannot qualify a noun i.e. 'reason'.
The correct way should be - 'vivid' as an adjective.
The correct sentence should be: I cannot ask my father for his car without any
vivid reason.
Let us see the proper application of adverb 'vividly'
Adverb is a word that qualifies -
1. a verb
2. an adjective
3. another adverb
4. a preposition
