Answer:

The correct answer is the object is the most important part of the sentence.

Explanation:

In English, the passive voice is used when we want to emphasize certain part of the sentence, such as the person or the thing affected by the action. In this case, the writer of the sentence wants to focus attention on the object (the gift) by putting them at the beginning  of the sentence, thus making it the subject (and the most important component of the sentence).

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! =)
