Which word in the sentence is an adverb? Owl hoots can be quite loud. A. Owl B. hoot C. quite D. loud

pooja195 (pooja195):

which do u think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well an adverb has to describe something, hoot is a verb so try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then I don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well we can rule out both a and b because they don't describe a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now that those two are ruled out and i gave you the definition of an adverb... why don't you take another stab at it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember that it can DESCRIBE AN ADJECTIVE hint hint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't like to guess but is it D.loud

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you are on the right track b/c loud IS the adjective

OpenStudy (anonymous):

however it isn't the adverb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so... by process of elimination it is c..... yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
