What should be added when an adverb begins a sentence?

Let's take an example. An adverb is basically an adjective for a verb: it describes a verb, and often ends in -ly. Here's a sentence, WITHOUT PROPER PUNCTUATION: "Slowly Anna walked." What fits here?

Let's work backwards. If D is correct: "Slowly. Anna walked." This is incorrect, because this would make "slowly" part of a separate sentence, not the beginning of the same sentence. This is the same situation for C. If it were correct: "Slowly! Anna walked." This makes it a separate sentence, so C is incorrect. What about B? "Slowly; Anna walked." This is incorrect because it makes "slowly" too separate from "Anna walked." Semicolons are used for completely separate ideas, NOT adverbs. The only right answer is A: "Slowly, Anna walked." This separates the adverb enough so it doesn't confuse, but you still know we are really saying "Anna walked slowly."

Analyze the word to determine its Greek prefix. Then use your understanding of the prefix meaning to choose the correct meaning

Sergio039 [100]

1) Prefix "a-" means "without, not". The meaning of the word "apathetic" is "without emotion or feeling";
2) In the word "analgesic", prefix "a-" denotes the process of removing or eliminating something. So, "analgesic" means "a medicine to remove pain";
3) Prefix "ex-" has the meaning "out". That is why, the word "expulsion" is defined as "to drive out";
4) Prefix "endo-" means "inside, within". Consequently, "endodermis" is the name of the inner layer of skin.
