Which of the following statements is false?a. Adverbs modify verbs.
b. Adverbs modify adjectives.
c. Adverbs modify nouns.
d. Adverbs modify adverbs.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is letter c. Adverbs modify nouns. Adverb is a part of speech that modifies a verb, an adjective and another adverb. It is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there ).
Answer 2
Answer:

C.

This is because an adverb is a word that modifies/describes a verb -he sings loudly-, an adjective -very tall-, another adverb -ended too quickly-, or even a whole sentence -Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella-. Adverbs often end in -ly, but some -such as fast- look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts. So, everything but answer C. is actually an adverb.

Hope this helps! I know the other guy answered but I wanted to anyway.

I also just noticed this was asked in 2016 but oops.

When analyzing a period-specific novel, you would definitely want to have a glossary of historical terms and encyclopedia of history on hand. Both will allow you to quickly look up words, phrases, and events that are mentioned in the novel. An etymology dictionary might also be useful as you can see how certain words have evolved and what they might have meant historically when a novel was written.

Read the excerpt from "Poetry." I, too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it after all, a place for the genuine. Hands that can grasp, eyes that can dilate, hair that can rise if it must, these things are important not because a high-sounding interpretation can be put upon them but because they are useful. What theme does this excerpt best express?A) Poetry is dull except when written in free verse. B) Poetry is interesting when it is authentic. C) Poetry is interesting only to the author of the poem. D) Poetry is often a mirror of human behavior.
