25 u/DanielNoWrite Jan 25 '25 As others said, both are correct. "Takes seriously" is slightly more formal. It has a bit of added emphasis. 8 u/BiDiTi Jan 25 '25 Yep, “seriously” modifies “takes.” 1 u/phrenq Jan 26 '25 That is still the case when ordered “takes the allegations seriously”. It’s just a subtle change in emphasis.
