A mean (also known as average) is adding up all the numbers you have and then dividing it by how many numbers you had. Tara says the mean is 6. When you add these numbers up you have 30 and there are 5 numbers. When you divide 30 by 5 you get 6, therefore Tara is correct.

Long describes the length of the American's love. African describes the origin of the birds since they are from Africa. The other words in the sentence are not adjectives.
