What atmosphere is reflected in this excerpt from Yei Theodora Ozaki’s “The Story of the Old Man Who Made Withered Trees to Flow

er”?
A strange thing happened! His wife put the rice into the mortar, and no sooner had he begun to pound it to make the cakes, than it began to increase in quantity gradually till it was about five times the original amount, and the cakes were turned out of the mortar as if an invisible hand were at work.
When the old man and his wife saw this, they understood that it was a reward to them from Shiro for their faithful love to him. They tasted the cakes and found them nicer than any other food. So from this time they never troubled about food, for they lived upon the cakes with which the mortar never ceased to supply them.

A. peace and happiness
B. wonder and excitement
C. horror and unease
D. dullness and boredom

Which word in the sentence is an adverb? That library book about aircraft likely includes many interesting pictures of planes. A
svlad2 [7]
The adverb of a sentence is a word that defines a verb. The main verb in this sentence is the word 'includes', so we are looking for the word that defines it, makes it more specific. So let's take a look at our answer choices:

A. includes

We know that includes is the verb of the sentence, so we can nix answer A right away.

B. likely

This word describes the way in which the pictures of planes were included, so this looks like a good candidate.

C. interesting

This word is an adjective defining the pictures, not the verb of the sentence, so we can scratch it off our choices

D. many

This is another adjective defining the amount of pictures there were, so we can also remove choice D from our list.

And we're left with answer choice B.
The word 'likely' is the adverb in the sentence.
Hope that helped! =)
