According to Igbo custom, twins are put in earthenware pots and throw away in the forest because the Igbo custom is that if twins were born they would be considered evil.

The Igbo people are African people from Nigeria. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, we learn about the culture of this people. Besided, among the cultural practices he mentions, we learn about the birth of twins.

Twins were believed to be supernatural beings that could bring tragedy to the community.

As you may know, adjectives are words that modify nouns, and adverbs are words that modify verbs. When we look at the sentence, “The baby is very sleepy,” there is only one noun—“baby.” And, there is only one verb—“is.” When looking at the sentence closer, there are three adjectives—“The,” “very,” and “sleepy.” “Very” can serve as either an adverb or adjective depending on what it is modifying. In this particular case, however, because it is modifying “sleepy,” and “sleepy” is an adjective, “very,” too, is an adjective. As such, the following in bold are correct:

Adjectives Choices-

A) the

B) baby

C) very

D) sleepy

E) none in this sentence

Adverbs Choices-

A) baby

B) is

C) very

D) sleepy

E) none in this sentence

Prepositional Phrases Choices-

A) baby

B) is

C) very

D) sleepy

E) none in this sentence
