- AS1 is right and S2 is wrong
- BS1 is wrong and S2 is right
- CBoth S1 and S2 are wrong
- DBoth S1 and S2 are right
Explanation
S1 correctly uses ‘especially’ (particularly) in ‘especially noticeable’. S2 wrongly uses ‘specially’ (for a special purpose) where ‘especially’ (particularly, on those days) is meant — lunch is served late particularly on board-meeting days. Hence S1 is right and S2 is wrong, i.e. option (a).
