<span>In the context of this passage (or any other passage, for that matter), the phrase a rule of thumb is best understood to mean a rule that usually works. The correct answer is D. It is a principle that is not necessarily always reliable, but works most of the time. Unfortunately, the phrase comes from domestic violence, where it was stated that a man could beat his wife as long as the stick he used for beating her wasn't thicker than his thumb. </span>

Words that modify or limit verbs adjectives and other adverbs are
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

These are referred to as <u>adverbs.</u> Adverbs are words that modify a sentence, and often end with a prefix of <em>ly-</em>. For example, "I walk to the park slowly". That sentence has an adverb, <em>slowly</em>, which modifies the sentence so we know that the writer is slowly walking to the park. Now, without that adverb, we would not know that the writer is slowly walking to the park, we would just know they are walking to the park. That is how adverbs modify sentences.
