As you may know, adjectives are words that modify nouns, and adverbs are words that modify verbs. When we look at the sentence, “The baby is very sleepy,” there is only one noun—“baby.” And, there is only one verb—“is.” When looking at the sentence closer, there are three adjectives—“The,” “very,” and “sleepy.” “Very” can serve as either an adverb or adjective depending on what it is modifying. In this particular case, however, because it is modifying “sleepy,” and “sleepy” is an adjective, “very,” too, is an adjective. As such, the following in bold are correct:

A) the
B) baby
C) very

Adverbs Choices-

B) is
C) very
D) sleepy
E) none in this sentence
Prepositional Phrases Choices-

Answer:
The shop seemed to be full of all manner of curious things—but the oddest part of it all was, that whenever she looked hard at any shelf, to make out exactly what it had on it, that particular shelf was always quite empty: though the others round it were crowded as full as they could hold.
"Things flow about so here!" she said at last in a plaintive tone, after she had spent a minute or so in vainly pursuing a large bright thing, that looked sometimes like a doll and sometimes like a work-box, and was always in the shelf next above the one she was looking at. "And this one is the most provoking of all—but I'll tell you what—" she added, as a sudden thought struck her, "I'll follow it up to the very top shelf of all. It'll puzzle it to go through the ceiling, I expect!"
