Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Fortunately in thirty seven bomb-blasts only five lives were lost.
Fortunately is a sentence adverb: it comments on the whole statement, so it belongs at the front, where it cannot be mistaken for a comment on any single part.
Why the others fail:
- Placing it after the blasts leaves it ambiguous between the blasts and the losses.
- only five lives were fortunately lost - this says the losing was fortunate.
- In fortunately thirty seven bomb-blasts - the adverb now modifies the number, which is nonsense.
