Question 4

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:He drove the car _______ to avoid missing the train.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A.In the given sentence we are to choose the correct adverb that describes the verb 'drove' i.e. an adverb that correctly describes how he drove the car.Option B - OUTSIDE denotes a place or position and not the manner, therefore it is not the correct answer.Option C - ENOUGH- This means sufficient. However, it does not describe the manner in which the car was driven. Thus this too is not the correct answer.Option D - RARELY - This word is an adverb that describes the manner in which an action is done. In the given sentence, however, it does not comply with the meaning and context of the sentence. Rarely means 'not often' and this has no connection with his driving to avoid missing the train. Thus this too is not the correct answer.Option A - QUICKLY -This word aptly describes the way the car was driven. It also complies with the meaning of the sentence. He has to drive the car in a way so that he avoids missing the train which can happen only if he drives QUICKLY.Hence, QUICKLY -Option A is the correct answer.

Question 5

Identify the adverb(s):Tom runs very fast.

Accepted Answer

An adverb is a word that modifies an adjective, a verb or another adverb. In the given sentence, the subject &#34;Tom&#34; performs an action &#34;runs&#34; in a manner &#34;very fast&#34;. &#34;Very&#34; refers to a degree or extent of something and intensifies the word &#34;fast&#34;, which is the manner of speed in which Tom runs. Hence, &#34;very&#34; and &#34;fast&#34; are both adverbs of degree and manner, respectively. &#34;Fast&#34; modifies the verb &#34;run&#34; and &#34;very&#34; modifies the adverb &#34;fast&#34;, so options C and D are both correct. Option A is incorrect because &#34;Tom&#34; is a noun, it names a specific person, and is not an adverb. Option B is also incorrect as &#34;runs&#34; is a verb that performs an action, and is modified by an adverb.

Question 6

Identify the adverb in the following sentence.He speaks English quite well, he can be of great help to you.

Accepted Answer

An adverb is a word that modifies/describes the meaning of a verb, adjective or another adverb. The verbs used in the given sentence are 'speaks' and 'can be'. The verb 'speaks' is being modified by the words, 'quite well'. Hence, it is an adverb. As this word describes how or in 'what manner' the subject 'He' speaks English, it is called an adverb of manner. Hence, option C is correct.Option A is incorrect as it is a pronoun and not an adverb.Option B is incorrect as it is a common noun and not an adverb.Option D is incorrect as it is a proper noun and denotes the name of a language. It is not an adverb.

Question 7

Identify the type of adverb used in the sentence:The child slept soundly.

Accepted Answer

The adverb 'soundly' modifies the verb 'slept'. It tells us about the manner in which the child slept. Hence, Option C - Adverb of Manner is correct.Option A is incorrect because the adverb 'soundly' doesn't tell us anything about the time when the child slept.Option B is incorrect because the adverb doesn't indicate any place of reference.Option D is incorrect because it doesn't speak anything about the frequency of the action.

Question 8

Choose whether true or false:Adverbs usually answer the questions How, When, Where, To what extent, Why about the verb, adjective or adverb that they are modifying.

Accepted Answer

Adverbs describe (or modify) verbs, adjectives and other adverbs, by telling us the manner, the way (how), the extent of a verb, adjective or another adverb.For examples:I ran fast. (fast - adverb, shows the manner of running, modifies 'ran' - verb)She is a very good athlete. (very - adverb, modifies 'good - adjective)I ran very quickly. (very - adverb, shows the extent, modifies 'quickly' - adverb)The statement is thus, true.Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
