Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We’ll look at the underlined word and decide what part of speech it is — noun, adjective, verb, or adverb.

1.) The happy bikers stopped for lunch.
Underlined: *happy*
→ “Happy” describes the bikers. It tells us what kind of bikers they are. That’s an
adjective.

2.) Alex brought his new watch today.
Underlined: *brought*
→ “Brought” is something Alex did — it’s an action. That’s a
verb.
✔ Answer: c. Verb
---
3.) Alan eats very slowly.
Underlined: *slowly*
→ “Slowly” tells us how Alan eats. Words that describe how, when, or where an action happens are
adverbs.
✔ Answer: d. Adverb
---
4.) The moon shines brightly tonight.
Underlined: *tonight*
→ “Tonight” tells us when the moon shines. Time words like this are often
adverbs. (Even though “tonight” can be a noun sometimes, here it modifies the verb “shines,” so it’s acting as an adverb.)
✔ Answer: d. Adverb
---
5.) The little girls like animals.
Underlined: *little*
→ “Little” describes the girls — it tells us their size. That’s an
adjective.

noun.

9.) The little boy reads slowly.
Underlined: *slowly*
→ Again, “slowly” tells us how the boy reads. That’s an
adverb.
✔ Answer: d. Adverb
---
10.) I walked around slowly.
Underlined: *around*
→ “Around” tells us where or in what direction the walking happened. In this case, it’s modifying the verb “walked,” so it’s acting as an
adverb. (Note: “around” can also be a preposition, but here it’s describing movement — so adverb fits best in this context.)
✔ Answer: d. Adverb
