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
