@AllyciaGutierrez don't jump on the first answer you see because the correct answer is NOT B.

Answer 5

ok good. Now, I am trying to help you understand rather than just giving you the answer.

Do you know what word the phrase "to solve many problems" is modifying?

Answer 6

Um...conversation? I'm not sure though.

Answer 7

It is modifying "way".

A person may ask what way? You reply with the way to solve many problems...

Now, the word way is a noun, right? And if it is what do you call a word or phrase that modifies a noun?

Answer 8

I think it's Adverb?

Answer 9

Adjectives modify nouns ^_^

Answer 10

Oh haha. See, this is why I'm failing english.

Answer 11

Yikes, you just have to study that basic word parts in English. Then figure out what modifies what. Then when you read a sentence you will be able to figure things out easier.

Sorry I'm not much of a teacher.

Answer 12
