Explanation:
We need to underline the adverbs in each sentence.
An adverb is a word that describes *how*, *when*, *where*, or *to what extent* something happens. Many (but not all) adverbs end in *-ly*, and they usually modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Let’s go sentence by sentence:

1. *She ran to school quickly.*
→ “quickly” tells *how* she ran → ✔ adverb

2. *Her mother sang quietly as she drifted off to sleep.*
→ “quietly” tells *how* she sang → ✔ adverb
(“as she drifted off to sleep” is a clause, not an adverb — we only underline single words here.)

3. *The birds flew gracefully above the lake.*
→ “gracefully” tells *how* they flew → ✔ adverb

4. *His mother shouted furiously at them.*
→ “furiously” tells *how* she shouted → ✔ adverb

5. *Peter tapped his dog lightly on the head.*
→ “lightly” tells *how* he tapped → ✔ adverb

6. *The teacher kindly handed her the certificate.*
→ “kindly” tells *how* she handed → ✔ adverb

7. *Mary accidentally hit Amy with her arm.*
→ “accidentally” tells *how* she hit → ✔ adverb

8. *The old man down the street mysteriously disappeared.*
→ “mysteriously” tells *how* he disappeared → ✔ adverb
(“down the street” is a prepositional phrase, not a single-word adverb — we only underline *mysteriously*.)

9. *Fortunately, the car was not damaged after the crash.*
→ “Fortunately” is at the start and modifies the whole sentence — it’s a sentence adverb → ✔ adverb

10. *They eventually made it to their destination.*
→ “eventually” tells *when* (or how long it took) they made it → ✔ adverb

So the adverbs are:
1. quickly
2. quietly
3. gracefully
4. furiously
5. lightly
6. kindly
7. accidentally
8. mysteriously
9. Fortunately
10. eventually

Final Answer:
quickly, quietly, gracefully, furiously, lightly, kindly, accidentally, mysteriously, Fortunately, eventually
