Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To identify the sentence with the correct word order, we need to apply the standard English rule for the sequence of adverbial phrases: M-P-T (Manner, Place, Time).
Grammar Rule: M-P-T Order
In English, when you have multiple adverbial modifiers following a verb, the most natural order is:
Manner: How something is done (e.g., "sweetly")
Place: Where it is done (e.g., "in the concert")
Time: When it is done (e.g., "last evening")
