In this sentence, the adverb "carefully" modifies the verb "trimmed" and the adjective "skillful" describes the noun "barber" correctly. There are no errors in adjective or adverb usage in this sentence.

Option B is incorrect because the adverb "skillfully" is misplaced and should come before the verb "trimmed" instead of after "barber". The adjective "careful" is also incorrect as it is describing the action of the barber, rather than the skill level of the barber.

Option C is incorrect because the adjective "careful" is again used incorrectly and should be replaced with "carefully" to correctly modify the verb "trimmed".
