Which sentence is correct according to standard adverb placement and time expression rules?

AI advise you to carefully read the book.
BHe left in the next morning.
CI am going to home.
DI advise you to read the book carefully.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. I advise you to read the book carefully.
Option D is correct because the adverb "carefully" is placed after the verb phrase, avoiding a split infinitive in this usage pattern. Option A places the adverb between "to" and "read." Option B is wrong because no preposition is used before time words like "next morning." Option C is wrong because when "home" functions as an adverb of place, no preposition is used before it.
