In the sentence, 'Because the chemicals in the laboratory were highly reactive, the technician handled the samples extremely cautious,' the word 'cautious' is grammatically correct. Is this statement true or false?

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

The statement is false because the adjective 'cautious' is incorrectly used to modify the verb 'handled' and should be replaced by the adverb 'cautiously'.
