Answer 1

Answer:

The archaeologist was diligently searching all of Egypt for the pharaoh's tomb. He directly told his boss that he would try to find the location by Friday, but his boss was pushing too hard. He gently reminded his boss that the timeframe was extremely tentative.

Explanation:

Adverbs are words we use to modify (describe) verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. In the given excerpt, we have more than four adverbs. I've pointed out all of them by writing them in bold letters. They are the following: diligently, directly, too, hard, gently, and extremely. Diligently, directly, hard, and gently are used to modify verbs, too is used to modify another adverb - hard, and extremely is used to modify the adjective tentative.
