Select the grammatically correct sentence:

2. The teacher asked the students thoroughly to study this book.
3. The teacher asked thoroughly the students to study this book.
4. The teacher asked the students to study thoroughly this book.
Answer: D
It is sentence 4.
The adverb belongs next to the verb it modifies, and thoroughly modifies study, so it goes immediately after it. Sentence 3 makes thoroughly modify asked instead, which changes the meaning.
