Here, the erroneous part is "writing on his legal pad and aggressive."

Key Points
 
  • The error lies in the part "aggressive."
  • The word "aggressive" should be changed to "aggressively" to properly modify the action of underlining.
  • "Aggressively" is used to modify the verb "underlining" to show how he underlined the text, and the sentence flows more smoothly.
  • The correct answer is Option 1.

Correct sentence: He spent a great deal of time writing on his legal pad and aggressively underlining whatever he was writing.
