Position of adverbs - class-IX

The statement is false because the placement of the adverb in the sentence is incorrect. When we use auxiliaries such as "have to" and "used to," the adverb is always placed before the verb. So, the correct sentence would be:
Rita never used to read books.

The statement is false because when there are two or more adverbs in a sentence, the correct sequence of placement will be:
1. adverb of manner
2. adverb of place
3. adverb of time

Option B is the correct answer because "enough" is always placed after the word it modifies in the sentence. 
For example:
He was kind enough to lend me money. (enough - adverb; placed after the word it modifies - kind)

In the given sentence, almost is the adverb of degree. It is modifying adjective 'as far as' given in the sentence. It should be placed before adjective. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Option C because the adverb "only" is always placed before the verb that it modifies. Here, the adverb "only" modifies the verb "stopped" and hence, it is placed just before the verb in the sentence.

The adverb 'angrily' is used to describe the manner in which something happens. Adverbs of manner are generally placed after the verb they qualify.

Choice B is correct as the adverb 'ever'relates to eaten. Choice A is wrong as the sentence is awkard. Choice C is wrong as 'to ever have' is not the correct form. Choice D is wrong as 'ever remember' makes the sentence awkward. B is correct.

As a rule, the word 'only' is always placed as close as possible to the word it is intended to modify. Hence, the correct answer is A and D.

When a sentence contains more than one verb i.e. one main verb and another is an auxiliary verb, place the adverb of frequency/degree between the verbs. E.g. They have often visited Europe. Here, 'Have' is an auxiliary verb and 'visited' is the main verb so, 'often' is placed between the two. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
