Explanation:
The correct option is B: new, overwhelming.
Adjectives are usually used to modify nouns. In this case, in the sentence "[although] the new students worked hard, they could barely keep up with the overwhelming amount of homework", "new" modifies "students" and "overwhelming" modifies "amount of homework".
The other options contain "barely" which is an adverb, not an adjective. Moreover, "hard" is also used as an adverb in the sentence. Adverbs such as "barely" modify a verb. That is to say, they add information about HOW an action is.
Answer and Explanation:
A region of my city was going to go through a reforestation process and was calling for volunteers who could help in this process. When I heard about the need for volunteers, I thought it might be a good activity for me and my brothers to participate together, since we had free time and reforestation has a very noble goal.
I explained this to my brothers and told them where the reforested area would be, they didn't like the idea at first, but when I started explaining the importance of this type of project and how it would be beneficial for our city for the next generations, they agreed to participate, at least for a few hours.
