No improvement

smelling so sweetly

will smell so sweet

- The sentence "The flowers smell so sweetly that I want to pluck them" uses "sweetly," which incorrectly describes the verb "smell."

- Option 1: smell so sweet - This option correctly uses "sweet" as an adjective to describe the noun "flowers," making it the right choice.

- Option 2: No improvement - This suggests the original sentence is correct, but it's not because "sweetly" is incorrectly used.

- Option 3: smelling so sweetly - This repeats the same error as the original sentence with "sweetly."

- Option 4: will smell so sweet - This incorrectly changes the tense without fixing the adjective/adverb mistake.
