Adverbs are those words that modify the verbs in a sentence. They also act as an added detail in a given sentence, making the meaning of the sentence more clear or specific.
In the given sentence
<em><u>The furniture store delivery truck is coming at 10 'clock</u></em>
The adverb is "coming" which signifies the act of doing work of the sentence. And so the adverb that modifies the verb "<em>come</em>" is "<em>10 o'clock</em>" for it provides a specific and added detail of when the truck will be coming. The sentence can also be written as "<u>the furniture store delivery truck is coming</u>" which is a full sentence in itself. But with the added <em>modifier "at 10 o'clock"</em>, the sentence becomes even more clear.
There are many ways you could paraphrase this, but one option would be "Experts think the recession will soon pass", since "Financial" and "optimistic" are implied.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The narrator allude the to the possibility of requiring a wife who could match Adams social standards at the end of the sentence from Mark Twain's "The 1,000,000 Bank-Note". Hope this answers the question.
