Solutions
• The underlined segment is erroneous.
• In the underlined segment, an adverb is used to modify the noun.
• However, an adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there).
• An adjective is used to modify the noun. Therefore, 'anonymously' should be used instead of 'anonymous'.
• Also, 'ascribed' is always followed by the preposition 'to'.
• For example, he ascribed Jane's short temper to her upset stomach.
• Hence, 'at' should be replaced with 'to'.
• Therefore, the underlined segment should be replaced with 'this anonymous play to' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence would be - After years of research, scholars have finally ascribed this anonymous play to Christopher Marlowe.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
