hich words make up the adverb phrase in the sentence? Which word does the adverb phrase modify? Throughout the thunderstorm, my
little puppy whined softly. A. my little puppy; modifies whined B. whined softly; modifies puppy C. my little; modifies puppy D. Throughout the thunderstorm; modifies whined C?
An adverb serves to modify a verb. In this case, our verb is clearly "whined." Simply put, B and C are incorrect because puppy is not a verb. As for A, "my little puppy" doesn't modify the verb, it's the subject of the verb. The correct answer is D. "Throughout the thunderstorm" modifies "whined."
The answer is B because The context clue you would use if you did not know the meaning of the word atrocious is the fact that The D.A.R. was unsupportive of African American performers. One can assume that if the group is unsupportive that they would have made the experience extremely difficult for Marian Anderson.
