(1)They are growing concerned with their physical appearance and
are doing something about it.
(2)They are growingly concerned with their physical appearance and
are doing something about it.
Which word is correct between growing and growingly in this sentence?
Thanks a lot for your help. |

"They are growing concerned" means they are becoming (increasingly) concerned. You would not say "growingly concerned."
