As the sun began to set, Robin dragged lazily her bag and went to his room to take a nap.

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) Robin lazily dragged

Explanation :

Placement of the adverb ‘lazily’ is inappropriate.

Adverb ‘lazily’ will be used just before the verb as it qualifies the action word itself.

The correct phrase is ‘Robin lazily dragged’.
