Adverbs Test 14

Adverb of manner is used to tell the way or how something is done. Adverbs of manner are usually placed after the main verb or after the object. 'Extreme' is an adjective and adding 'ly' will modify it. Thus, option A is the correct answer. 

An adverb is a word or phrase that qualifies or changes an adjective, verb or another adverb, to express a relation of a situation, cause etc.

The correct answer is  B)miserably, unhappy as 'miserably' is an adverb which describes the adjective 'unhappy'.

Options A, C, and D are wrong as 'miserable' is an adjective which cannot be used in the place of an adverb and 'unhappily' is an adverb which cannot be used in the place of the adjective 'unhappy'.

In the given sentence, the subject is "He" as it performs the action (the verb) "developed", against the object "strategy". The word that precedes the verb modifies it, it can either be an adverb or a noun, as adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. A word is required that describes the manner of developing a strategy. From the options, 'cleverly' is an adverb of manner, it modifies the verb "developed" and refers to the intelligent way in which he developed a strategy. Hence option C is correct. 'Wise' is an adjective, adjectives modify nouns, they do not modify verbs, hence option A is incorrect. Some adverbs are formed from adjectives, the adjective 'quick' forms an adverb by adding a suffix, -ly, whereas the option 'quickely' has been misspelled. Also, 'quickly' is not the appropriate option, a strategy needs to be clever, not quick. Hence option B  is incorrect. 'Haste' is a noun that refers to an urgency, it cannot be placed in the sentence as it makes no sense 'he haste developed'. A noun is not required, as a pronoun is there to perform the action, and an adverb is required to state the manner of that action. Hence, option D is incorrect.

The speaker explains that he's just going to be stepping out, anytime soon and asks if he can call back later. From the options given, 'about' is the most appropriate option, because the structure of the sentence, the placement of words comply with 'about', it means 'nearly, almost'. Hence option B is correct. It means 'almost', but the word 'almost' cannot directly replace option B. When we replace the word, the sentence sounds grammatically incorrect, and requires to be changed to 'I'm almost stepping out' or 'I'm almost going to step out', but we don't have the option of changing the sentence, hence option C is incorrect. 'Likely' refers to a certainty, it means 'probably', it makes the speaker sounds uncertain if he wants to step out or not, but the sentence does not express uncertainty, or else he wouldn't ask to call back later, had he been sure about being busy in the first place. Hence option A is incorrect. 'Soon' means 'immediately after' or 'quickly', and refers to time, whereas the sentence does not refer to time, it refers to degree, or an extent of an action 'about to step out'. If 'soon' is placed in the sentence, its structure would have to be changed 'I'm going to step out soon', but we don't have that option, hence option D is incorrect.
