Adverbs Test 18

The correct answer is  D) no change as the given sentence is correct.

The given sentence is a synthesis of two sentences that were combined to form a simple sentence with the expression 'too...to'. 'Too' in the underlined phrase means 'more than enough', it refers to the painting's beauty that is more than enough because it was painted by a mediocre artist. The sentence has the proper structure of 'too...to' hence the given sentence is correct, option D is correct. This is a simple sentence that contains the adverb 'too', when it is converted to the complex form, 'too' is replaced by 'so...that'. If we use option A, the sentence would need to be changed a little more by adding 'that' followed by a negative clause, as in "so beautiful that it could not have been painted by...", and we are not supposed to change this sentence to complex, hence option A is incorrect. Option B is incorrect as 'that' is not relevant here, it means 'as much as that', which does not complete the sentence, because it conveys a positive meaning whereas the sentence has a negative tone. (it's hard to believe that a mediocre artist would paint such a beautiful painting). Similarly, 'very' emphasizes the beauty of the painting, which is irrelevant to what the sentence states, 'very' is a positive adverb whereas 'too' has a negative tone, as it refers to an excess. Hence option C is incorrect.

The adverb in the given sentence is "well", which is an adverb of manner. It describes the way in which the child performs at the concert. Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. As it describes the manner in which the child performs, it modifies the verb "performed". Adverbs of manner are usually placed in the end of the sentence or in the mid position (mid position is between the subject and the verb). But when there are more than the three types of adverbs in a sentence, they usually go in the order: manner, place, time. Here, the adverb of place is "in the concert" and the adverb of time is "yesterday night". Hence, the adverb of manner comes first, and not second, as mentioned in the question. Option D has the correct order, hence it's the right option, and A is thus, incorrect. An adverb of manner is not placed before the verb (performed), in some cases it precedes the verb to emphasize it, and here an emphasis is not required. Hence option B is incorrect. Option C does not follow the order of the adverbs of manner, place and time, and it sounds grammatically incorrect, hence option C is incorrect.

Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. In the given sentence, "rarely" is the adverb of manner because it tells us 'how' or 'in what manner', does the teacher shout at "us". The adverb "rarely" modifies the verb "shouts". Adverbs of manner usually go at the end of the sentence, or mid position (mid position means between the subject and the main verb). But, to place emphasis on an adverb, it can be placed before the verb. Like in option B, emphasis is given to "rarely", hence it should be placed before the verb "shouts", so option B is correct and A is incorrect. "The teacher" is the subject here, an adverb cannot be placed between the subject and the article as it does not modify a noun, only adjectives can be placed between an article (the) and a noun (teacher). Hence option C is incorrect. If the verb has an object (at us), the adverb of manner is placed after the object and not between the verb and object. Hence option D is incorrect. (Here, the adverb is not placed after the object either, because when placed before the verb, it lays emphasis on 'rarely' and the sentence sounds complete)

An adverb of place is usually located at the end of a sentence.
'Everywhere' is an adverb of place (adverbs that end in -where refer to a location without specifying a specific location: somewhere, everywhere, nowhere, anywhere, etc.,).
In the given sentence, 'everywhere' is placed in between a prepositional phrase ("for the keys" is not the object of the verb "looked", it is a prepositional phrase that complements the verb).
Hence the sentence requires change and option D is incorrect.
The adverb is placed at the end of the sentence in option B, which is right; an adverb of place is generally written at the end of a sentence. Hence B is the correct option.
An adverb of place is not located before the verb, but after. Hence option A is incorrect.
In option C, the adverb is placed in between the prepositional phrase "for the keys", it seems to modify either the preposition "for" or the object (the keys) of the preposition. Adverbs modify neither prepositions nor nouns. Hence option C is incorrect.

The correct answer is  B) so as it indicates the extent of his tiredness.

The correct answer is Option A.

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  C)Adverb as it describes how much 'ripe' the fruit is.

Options  A, B , and D are wrong as 'almost' is not a noun, not used in the given sentence to name the attribute of the noun (fruit), and it is not used in the place of any noun respectively.

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  A)NO CHANGE as the adverb is positioned correctly in the given sentence. 

Options B, C, and D are wrong as the sentence structure is wrong, the object is not positioned correctly, and the adverb is not positioned correctly.

 He is writing the letter carefully.

'There' is the adverb of place. The rule is adverbs of place are normally placed after a sentence's object or main verb. Here, 'teacup' is the object and 'put' is the verb.
