I am pretty sure it's "The instruments were tuned by the members of the orchestra."

Thank you MiaKitty1....   I am older and going to school and some things I just don't retain like I used to...  =)  Your help is appreciated!

anonymous · Answer

An adverb describes a verb, or how something was/is done.

"The instruments.." begins with a noun (being instruments).
"Softly.." describes HOW they tuned their instruments.
"Tuned..." is an verb.

So the answer is the one that begins with softly.
