Fill in the blank with the appropriate adverb:
It ____ (is / beauty) carved with yellow gold fittings and a pearl at the centre.

  1. were beautifully

  2. were beautiful

  3. was beautifully

  4. were beauty
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Options A, B, and D are incorrect since using "were" - the plural past tense form of "be'' - with the singular "it" is grammatically wrong. Moreover, the words "beautiful" and "beauty" are not adverbs. "Beauty" is noun while "beautiful" is an adjective. Thus, options A, B and D are wrong. 


Option C, however, is correct, since "beautifully" is an adverb that modifies the verb "carved".

Nikki drove ____ along the narrow road.

  1. careful

  2. with care

  3. carefully

  4. Both A and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

"Careful" is an adjective which makes option A incorrect. Since option A is wrong, D, too is wrong. "Care", in option B, is a noun preceded by the preposition "with". Thus, option B is incorrect as well.


Option C's "carefully" is an adverb since it modifies the verb "drove". It is, therefore, correct.
