  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the type of adverb used in the sentence:

    The little lamb followed Mary everywhere.
    Solution
    The adverb 'everywhere' modifies the verb 'followed'. It answers the question where the action of following was being done. Hence, Option B - Adverb of Place is correct.
    Option A is incorrect because the adverb 'everywhere' doesn't tell us anything about the time when the action was being done.
    Option C is incorrect because the adverb doesn't tell us anything about the manner in which the action was being done.
    Option D is incorrect because it doesn't speak anything about the frequency of the action.
  • Question 7

    Identify the type of adverb used in the sentence:

    I have spoken to him already.
    Solution
    The adverb 'already' modifies the verb 'spoken'. It hints at the hour of speaking giving us a sense of time. Hence, Option A - Adverb of Time is correct.
    Option B is incorrect because the adverb 'already' doesn't answer the question 'how' or 'in what manner' the speaking was done.
    Option C is incorrect because the adverb doesn't indicate any place of reference.
    Option D is incorrect because it doesn't speak anything about the frequency of the action.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

    This is _______ big a problem to be handled by such a small team.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

    The situation is _____ grave to be ignored.
    Solution
    There is a subtle difference between the adverbs 'very' and 'too'. 'Very' is used usually to indicate something in a positive way whereas 'too' is used to suggest something in a negative manner. Suppose we say, 'the test was very difficult for us', it still hints at the fact that we still could attempt it; but if we say that 'the test was too difficult for us', it suggests that we failed in the test.
    In this case, Option C is correct because the sentence states that the situation is so grave, or more than enough grave, that it cannot be ignored Thus 'too' needs to be used and not 'very'. Hence, Option C is correct and Option D is incorrect.
    Options A and B are incorrect as they are irrelevant to the context.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the part of speech of the underlined word in the given sentence.
    He is not normally a very fast runner, but he runs fast in major events.
    Solution
    The underlined word 'very' stresses on the speed of the runner in a high degree, thus, it is an adverb of degree. Adverbs of degree indicate the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb. and are usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb they modify.
