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".

If someone almost runs you over with his car by mistake and after doing so the person drives away without apologizing. What woul
Brut [27]

Answer:

I would think that as very rude of a person. They could have been the cause of death, and they didn't even apologize. The person could also be afraid, though, of the consequences if you were to press charges. Maybe they hadn't realized, though? If that were the case, I would not think of them as rude, but as dangerous, because they were not paying attention.
