The poem "Stanley VS. the storm" uses adverbs to describe how things happen during a storm, while showing Stanley’s brave reaction.
Let’s look at the adverbs in the poem:
1.
eerily – describes *how* the winds howl → tells us the sound is strange and scary
2.
drearily – describes *how* the sky darkens → means gloomy or sad-looking
3.
scarily – describes *how* the branches clatter → makes you feel afraid
4.
merrily – describes *how* Stanley whistles → happily, even though there’s lightning!
5.
glare – this is not an adverb; it’s part of “flashes glare” — actually, “glare” here is likely meant as a noun (bright light), but the line says “lightning flashes glare” — that might be a typo or poetic license. The adverb should modify “flashes,” but “glare” isn’t an adverb. Wait — let’s check: “As lightning flashes glare.” That doesn’t make sense grammatically. Probably it’s meant to be “As lightning flashes *glaringly*” — but it’s written as “glare.” Hmm. Actually, looking again: maybe “glare” is being used as an adverb? No — standard English doesn’t use “glare” as an adverb. This may be an error in the poem. But since we’re working with what’s given, perhaps we skip labeling “glare” as an adverb. Let’s focus on clear ones.
Actually, re-reading: “As lightning flashes glare.” — This is awkward. Maybe it’s “As lightning flashes, [and] glare [happens]”? Not helpful. Perhaps the intended adverb is missing. But wait — maybe “glare” is meant to be “glaringly”? Since this is for students, we’ll assume only clearly correct adverbs are to be identified.
Better approach: List only the words that are definitely adverbs ending in -ly or known adverbs.
From the poem:
- eerily → adverb (how)
- drearily → adverb (how)
- scarily → adverb (how)
- merrily → adverb (how)
- thunderously → adverb (how) — from “booms thunderously”
- wondrously → adverb (how) — from “somewhat wondrously”
Also: “somehow” and “somewhat” are also adverbs!
- somehow → adverb (in some way)
- somewhat → adverb (to some extent)
So full list of adverbs in the poem:
1. eerily
2. drearily
3. scarily
4. merrily
5. thunderously
6. somehow
7. somewhat
8. wondrously
Note: “glare” is NOT an adverb — so we exclude it.
Now, if the task is to identify adverbs in the poem (as suggested by the left page about adverbs), then these are the answers.
But since no specific question was asked beyond uploading the image, and based on context (left page teaches adverbs, right page has poem with many adverbs), the implied task is likely:
Identify all the adverbs in the poem.
Final Answer:
eerily, drearily, scarily, merrily, thunderously, somehow, somewhat, wondrously
