In which one of the following sentences does an adverb modify an adjective?a. Lucy danced tirelessly.
b. His appearance greatly affected Candace.
c. His shirt was extremely tight.
d. Mark was dressed properly.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is c. His shirt was extremely tight. An adverb is a describing word (often ending in -ly, but not always) that modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. An adjective is a describing word that modifies nouns. In the sentence "His shirt was extremely tight," the adverb "extremely" is modifying the adjective "tight," which is modifying the noun "shirt." In all the other options, the adverbs are modifying the verbs rather than adjectives.

d. Writing the word the way you think it's spelled to jog your recall

Answers

a, b, and d are good ways to find the word that you do not remember. All of them can help you. On the contrary, the option c. is not a good way, because you will see that there are too many words in the dictionary starting by any letter. So, the answer to the question is the option c. "Using the first letter of the word and searching through all the entries under that letter" is the answer to the question", which definitely is not a good technique to find the word that you want.

the most important ingredient for a successful garden she told this is good soil what is the punctuation

Answers

Commas are the punctuation to be used. The first comma is placed after garden, the second comma is placed after us.

The most important ingredient for a successful garden, she told us, is good soil.

The use of comma is to separate nonessential words, phrases, and clauses from the rest of the sentence.

The phrase "she told us" is nonessential to the sentence because even without this phrase, the sentence still expresses the same thought when the phrase was present.
