A Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has the error. Here, an adjective (brisk) is used to modify a verb 'walked', whereas only an adverb (briskly) can be used to modify a verb. Thus, the correct sentence would be, “He walked briskly so as to reach the bus stand on time”.
