a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5

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'

He is quite an intelligent boy.Here, 'quite' is an adverb because it is qualifying the adjective 'intelligent'
He ran very fast.Here, 'very' is an adverb because it is qualifying the adverb 'fast'.
