Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as this part of the sentence has an error. Here, ‘smells’ is a sense verb which describes someone’s sensation or feeling or perception. Sense verbs require adjectives, not adverb modifiers. Thus, the correct sentence would replace ‘nicely’ (adverb) with the adjective (nice).
