Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
Explanation: This option is the correct choice because it replaces the adjective "strange" with the adverb "strangely", which is the appropriate word to describe how Sunil was acting. Adverbs modify verbs, and in this case, "strangely" modifies the verb "acting", indicating how Sunil was acting.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Stranger: This option is not correct because "stranger" is a noun, not an adverb. It would change the meaning of the sentence.
More strange: It is incorrect to use according to the degrees of an adjective.
Therefore, the sentence should be, "Sunil was acting strangely when I saw him".
