Read the sentence.John said that he saw a very lively Broadway show in New York last year.
Which word is the adverb?
a.Broadway
b.show
c.last
d.very

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The adverb modifies the verb, but is not an object of the verb.

The object here, what John said is "a very lively Broadway show".  (which contains options a,b and d, and leaves c as the correct answer).

But i would say that there is not "an adverb" but an adverbial phrase "last year" - both these words are needed to form the phrase

Read the passage and study the image from Sugar Changed the World. An ancient rock painting of a person climbing a cliff to harvest honey from a beehive. Bees are depicted flying around the person. Caption: Based on drawings from around 7000 BCE, this image depicts rock climbers finding honey in cliffs. This is the earliest known form of honey collecting. (Eva Crane, World History of Beekeeping and Honey Hunting). . . . A rock drawing in Spain from about 7000 B.C. shows a man who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive, and is reaching in to grab the honey. Indeed, a lucky wanderer in just about any part of Europe, Africa, or Asia that wasn’t covered with ice could stumble on a hive and—at the risk of some stings—come away with a treat. (People in the Americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.) Then someone figured out that you didn't have to be lucky. You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. You could "keep" bees—you didn't have to find them. How does the image support the text? The image shows how people kept bees for their honey by using hollow trees. The image shows that people used mashed fruits as sweeteners instead of sugar. The image shows how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began. The image shows an ancient person collecting sap from a maple tree for syrup.

Answer:

The image shows how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began.

Explanation:

From the passage, it is clearly stated that from an ancient rock painting, people were depicted climbing beehives in cliffs to collect honey and also from the image, there are bees hovering around the person.

It was clearly stated that it was the earliest form of honey collecting.

A rock painting in Spain also lent credence to this by showing a man who climbed a hive and was collecting honey with few bees flocking around him.

The image supports the text by showing how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began.

Which of the following groups of words is a sentence fragment?a. When we stopped by the garden.
b. Stopping by the garden, we saw that the flowers were in bloom.
c. We stopped; she didn't.
d. Stop by the garden.

Answers

Of the group of words presented as options, the sentence fragment of them would be A. When we stopped by the garden.

Sentence fragments, or just fragments, are much like dependent clauses. They aren't able to stand on their own, but are sometimes depicted as lone sentences. This is only when they are partnered with a complete sentence before they are presented. This would then present that the sentence fragment is clearly referring to the previous thought presented to the sentence prior to the fragment.

B. stopping by the garden, we saw that the flowers were in bloom. this sentence presents a complete thought and is a complete sentence.

C. We stopped; she didn't. on the other hand also presents clear and complete thought.

D. Stop by the garden. is an acceptable form of sentence that is under the classification of a command.
