Could you please give grammatical reason to explain why? --see question below [on hold]
The original question was: [Choose the sentence with the correct spelling].
I truly believe it was wrong. Let's amend it to a new one:
Please choose the most common words or sentence below, And explain the grammatical reason.
a. This is how I approached what I did.
b. Then I approached what I did carefully.
c. However, I approached what I did in order.

Please clarify. I don’t see a problem with spelling in your examples. Also, assuming the misspelling was so bad it produced a different but extant word, you’ll need to establish that there was a grammatical basis for the spelling error since grammar and spelling are usually independent matters.

Sorry about that. This question come from an online language test. I truly believe the question is a wrong one about spelling. However, despite the question, could we choose a most common sentence in a, b and c? Any grammatical reason?

a. is grammatical. In b. the adverb has been placed after the wrong verb; 'I approached carefully....' c. has inappropriate anacoluthon. I suspect though that spell check corrected the spelling mistakes while the test was being posted.

@Hugh what I did in order → what I did (not randomly / in sequence) (And, with b, there isn't anything necessarily ungrammatical about separating an adverb from a verb—it can be a matter of style.)

a. is grammatical. In b. the adverb has been placed after the wrong verb; 'I approached carefully....' c. has inappropriate anacoluthon. I suspect though that spell check corrected the spelling mistakes while the test was being posted.

@Hugh what I did in order → what I did (not randomly / in sequence) (And, with b, there isn't anything necessarily ungrammatical about separating an adverb from a verb—it can be a matter of style.)
