Answer 3

Remember, an adverb modifies the adjective. Do you know what the adjective is?

Answer 4

You there? @kiddchaos

Answer 5

An adjective is used to describe a noun. @kiddchaos

Answer 6

The only adverb in this sentence is "very" which is an adverb of degree. It intensifies the adjective likely. Last year is an adverbial phrase of time, but is not an adverb nor does it contain an adverb.
There is the mistaken belief that all adverbs end in "ly" or that any word that ends in "ly" is an adverb. However, words such as "friendly" or "lively" are adjectives; they are used to describe people, places, or things
