Step-by-step solution for: Allusion Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a worksheet titled "Affirmations" with a list of sentences. The task is to underline the adverb in each sentence.
Let’s go through each sentence and identify the adverb — a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, often describing *how*, *when*, *where*, *how often*, or *to what extent* something happens.
---
1. The gymnast's performance is perfect.
- "perfect" is an adjective (describes *performance*).
- There is no adverb here.
✘ No adverb.
2. I can't see well and feel sick because of the headache.
- "well" describes *how* I can see → it modifies the verb "see".
✔ "well" is an adverb.
→ Underline: well
3. The supply truck has climbed up the steep hill.
- "up" indicates direction → modifies the verb "climbed".
✔ "up" is an adverb of place.
→ Underline: up
4. Nathan is the only person who has come recently.
- "recently" tells when he came → modifies the verb "has come".
✔ "recently" is an adverb of time.
→ Underline: recently
5. Although we are losing, the 80% of fans in our team are completely loyal.
- "completely" modifies the adjective "loyal" → how loyal?
✔ "completely" is an adverb.
→ Underline: completely
6. Everyone thinks Lily is a brilliant dancer.
- "brilliant" is an adjective (describes *dancer*).
- No adverb modifying a verb, adjective, or other adverb.
✘ No adverb.
7. Chocolate and milkshakes are delicious.
- "delicious" is an adjective.
- No adverb present.
✘ No adverb.
8. Don't sit there, children — it's too cold.
- "there" is an adverb of place (modifies "sit").
✔ "there" is an adverb.
→ Underline: there
9. Let's try to accomplish the assignment before the end of the week.
- "before the end of the week" is a prepositional phrase indicating time.
- But "before" is a preposition here.
- However, "before" can be used as an adverb meaning "earlier", but here it's part of a prepositional phrase.
- Actually, "before" is not functioning as an adverb here.
- Wait — let’s recheck: "before the end of the week" = time phrase.
- Is there any standalone adverb?
- "try" is a verb, but no adverb modifying it.
- So, no adverb in this sentence.
✘ No adverb.
⚠️ Correction: "before" can function as an adverb (e.g., "I saw her before"), but in this case, it's followed by a noun phrase ("the end of the week") → so it's a preposition, not an adverb.
Therefore, no adverb here.
10. Hoping for the best, she began to speak slowly.
- "slowly" describes *how* she spoke → modifies the verb "spoke".
✔ "slowly" is an adverb.
→ Underline: slowly
