Answer 1

Hint: Grammar is the branch of linguistics that deals with syntax and morphology (and sometimes also deals with semantics).
A sentence that is grammatically incorrect does not follow the rules of grammar.

Complete answer:

Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'I am looking forward to receiving your reply.', refers to a sentence that follows all the rules of grammar.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect.

Option (b.), ‘Each boy and every girl was given rewards.', refers to a sentence that follows all the rules of grammar.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect.

Option (c.), ‘I can run as fast, if not faster, than you.', refers to a sentence that does not follow all the rules of grammar. ‘As’ is used both before and after the adjective, to show equality.
Therefore, option (c.) is correct.

Option (d.), ‘I can reproduce this lesson word for word.', refers to a sentence that follows all the rules of grammar.

Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect.

Note: In this question, in the correct option, the preposition ‘as’ is used incorrectly.
‘As’ is a preposition that introduces a basis of comparison, with an object in the objective case.
For example- ٠ You are not as tall as me.
She's twice as strong as an ox.
