    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ‘Brilliant’ is an adjective. In the sentence to define the flowers there has already been used an adjective that is ‘colored’. The sentence further defines the adjective ‘colored’. The words which define adjectives apart from verbs are adverbs. Hence we need an adverb ‘brilliantly’.
