Answer 1

Hint: The two most basic parts of a sentence are the subject and predicate. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing that is performing the action of the sentence. The subject represents what or whom the sentence is about.

Complete answer:
 In the given question, we have to find out the incorrect part of the sentence and replace it with the correct form of it. Her, observe the question closely. We can clearly see that the word ‘oftenly’ is used, which doesn’t even exist. The word ‘oftenly' doesn’t have any meaning, and has no place in the dictionary.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option ‘a’ is She oftenly spoke. It is the correct option as this part contains the word ‘oftenly’, which should be replaced with ‘often’.
Option ‘b’ is Of her childhood. It is an incorrect option as this part of the sentence has no mistake and is completely correct.
Option ‘c’ is With nostalgia. It is also an incorrect option as this part of the sentence is also correct.
Option ‘d’ is Even after so many years. It is an incorrect option and has no error. Hence, the option ‘a’ is the correct option.

Note:
The word ‘often’ is an adverb that means ‘frequently; many times'. Its comparative adverb would be – oftener and its superlative adverb would be – oftenest.
