The correct answer is 'He described the place vivid'.

Key Points

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, 'He described the place vividly' should be used instead of 'He described the place vivid'.
  • "Vivid" is an adjective that means something that is bright, intense, or lively.
  • However, in this context, we need an adverb to modify the verb "described", which is "vividly".
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 1. 
     

Correct Sentence: He described the place vividly that inspired in us a wish to visit the same.
