OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Conqueror @MissSmartiez

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's B and it's not supposed to say part, it's supposed to say party

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's A I mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean C!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I disagree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I know it's not A for a fact

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

o you meant party lol..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

well, why could it be B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think it's B because an adverb describes a verb or another adverb, and there's no verb or adverb in this sentence.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Verb: mother cleaned (right)? Adverb: describing when she cleaned. Adjective can work too so, but I would say B overall http://examples.yourdictionary.com/adverb-phrase-examples.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What'd you say Conqueror?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

check out the link, it gives you definition, and examples

OpenStudy (conqueror):

be·fore bəˈfôr/ preposition, conjunction, & adverb 1. during the period of time preceding (a particular event, date, or time).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So B?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

exactly, it describes when cleaning took place.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

clean - verb before - adverb.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why does it say this for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you see it?

OpenStudy (conqueror):

See what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The picture

OpenStudy (conqueror):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

o,o.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):
