Answer:
Slowly.
Explanation:
Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that modify other words in a sentence. This means that they help give 'extra' detail about the word they are modifying. Modifiers can either be an adjective or an adverb, depending on the word they modify.
In the given sentence<em> "I slowly ate the pizza; it took me 20 minutes to finish a slice"</em>, the modifying word is "slowly". This adverb modifies the verb "ate", thereby making it an adverbial clause. Adjective modifiers modify nouns while adverb modifiers modifier verb, another adverb, or an adjective.
Thus, the modifier in the sentence is "slowly".
Well what are the answer choices? or do you just write what you think it means?
Okay. I cannot see the article, again but will try my hardest to answer this anyway.
The purpose can usually be seen in the first sentence or paragraph (unless you have an excerpt). Though it may not be too specific it will usually be backed up by evidence later in the passage. A purpose can always be proven by text details.
Choice of details: should support the purpose
organization: Some things are good for some purposes.
e.g. cause effect, shows the good or bad effects of a purpose. The author can support the purpose or no.
chronological can show how something has changed over time.
etc.
Try to identify the main structure and how the passage is organized and how it supports the main idea.
