Which sentence uses a word incorrectly?

Christina has spoken to everyone about her new literally novel.

The copperhead is a poisonous snake that can be found in the Northeast.

Jake implied that he did not want to participate in the study group.

There were three runners-up in the baking competition.

The incorrect word here is "literally." Literally is an adverb meaning "in a literal sense." You can take out the word "literally" here and have a complete sentence, however, I think what the person meant to say is her new LITERARY novel. A literary novel is a novel that typically wins literary awards such as the National Book Award, Booker Prize, John Newbery Medal, and the Coretta Scott King Award. These are only a few examples.
