Discussion
Identify the sentence in which the order of words is correct.
Answer: B
The correct order is She sang sweetly in the concert last evening.
After the verb, English adverbials normally follow the order manner, place, time: how (sweetly), where (in the concert), when (last evening).
The other sentences break that order: putting the place before the manner, or the time before the place, sounds unnatural in standard English.
Time expressions can also be moved to the front for emphasis (Last evening she sang sweetly in the concert), but they are not placed between manner and place.
