mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>easily</u>.

Explanation:

Adverbs are words in a sentence that are used to modify the meaning of the verb and the rest of the words. The various types of adverbs that exist are: Time, place, quantity, mode, affirmation, denial and doubt.

Simple adverbs are those that are only made up of one word.
