OpenStudy (rowbe98):

Good/well is describing how he throws. "Can throw" is the verb, so that would make it an adverb. Thus making the answer well. Make sense? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

What makes more sense to you? I can read well or I can read good. To me I believe it is the first option because it makes more sense. Please medal. Your answer is A

OpenStudy (rowbe98):

Adverbs describe verbs, and adjectives describe nouns. Good is an adjective, so it could be used to describe the weather or the food. Well is an adverb, so it would be used to describe the verb, such as "She draws well." Does that help?

OpenStudy (rowbe98):

Yes, the answer is A.
