Answer
A
Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices regularly to play on the varsity team.
B
Players must regularly maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices to play on the varsity team.
C
Regularly, players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices to play on the varsity team.
D
Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices to play regularly on the varsity team.
Explanation
The adverb “regularly” should describe how often players attend practices. In choice A, “attend practices regularly” places the modifier next to the action it describes. The original wording, “attend regularly practices,” incorrectly puts the adverb before the noun “practices.”
