Which of the following quotes contains an adverb? Select all that apply. A. Along with many of the men where he worked, Dad join
ed the U.S. Army to fight in World War I. B. Companies were hiring women for jobs that men usually held. C. Each part had to be carefully checked with tools that measured very short lengths and small diameters. D. She deeply worried about George and his brief education. E. She said that the bottom of the skirt had to be exactly eight inches from the floor. 7 i know it's C, but i need to know the rest. i can't think, i mean, it is the weekend i shouldn't be thinking.
A includes an adverb of place which is "in World War 1". "World War 1" describes the verb "fight" by stating its location and is thus an adverb of place
B includes an adverb which is "usually". "usually" describes the action/verb "held" by stating how often it was "held"
C, well you know, "carefully".
D should have an adverb too if there isn't any mistake in the sentence as it has the adverb "deeply" which describes the action/verb "worried" by stating the degree of her worrying for George. NOTE: "worried" in this context is NOT an adjective
E does not have an adverb. Although it may seem like "exactly" is the adverb, "exactly" is describing "eight inches long" which is an adjective, not a verb. Therefore, there should be no adverb because the verb in this sentence, which is "said", was not described in any way.
Therefore, the answers are A, B, C and D. I'm sorry if my answers are wrong and hopefully you can tell me why if it is...
Hope this answer helped :) Also, people should be thinking everyday, or else nothing will have meaning and our daily lives won't be able to function normally. I hope you change your mindset about that, it's really fun to learn on weekends too :)
