Step-by-step solution for: Adverbs interactive worksheet for Grade 6
Here are the correct adverbs to complete each sentence, based on the meaning of the words and the context of the sentences.
1. anxiously
* *Reasoning:* Waiting to hear news about being accepted into a program usually makes people feel nervous or worried. "Anxiously" fits this feeling best.
2. famously (or possibly *closely*, but *famously* is a common collocation for "gets along famously")
* *Reasoning:* The phrase "gets along famously" is a common expression meaning to have a very good relationship. While "closely" could work grammatically, "famously" is the standard idiom here. Let's re-evaluate. Looking at the other options: "usually" is already in the sentence. "Loudly", "clearly", "urgently", "abruptly", "angrily", "reluctantly" don't fit well with "gets along". "Closely" is possible ("gets along closely"), but "famously" is the stronger idiomatic match for getting along *well*. Let's stick with famously.
3. loudly
* *Reasoning:* Music that is played at a high volume is described as "loudly". The phrase "much too loudly" is a common complaint about neighbors' music.
4. clearly
* *Reasoning:* When windows are clean, your vision is unobstructed, so you can see "clearly".
5. urgently
* *Reasoning:* Finding a cure for a serious disease like COVID-19 is a matter of great importance and time-sensitivity, so research is needed "urgently".
6. angrily (or *loudly*)
* *Reasoning:* Shouting for a dog to go home could be done angrily or loudly. However, looking at sentence 3, we used "loudly" for music. Let's look at sentence 7 and 8. Sentence 7 is "reluctantly admitted". Sentence 8 is "closely monitor". Sentence 9 is "abruptly stopped". Sentence 10 is "usually held". That leaves "angrily" and "loudly" for sentences 6 and maybe another? Wait, let's re-check sentence 2. If sentence 2 is "famously", then we have used: anxiously, famously, loudly, clearly, urgently. Remaining: abruptly, angrily, reluctantly, closely, usually.
* Sentence 6: "The man shouted ______ for his dog..." Shouting is inherently loud, so adding "loudly" is redundant but possible. Adding "angrily" adds emotional context. Let's hold on this.
7. reluctantly
* *Reasoning:* Admitting to stealing something is something most people would not want to do. They would do it "reluctantly" (unwillingly).
8. closely
* *Reasoning:* A prefect monitoring a class needs to pay careful attention. "Closely monitor" is a standard phrase meaning to watch carefully.
9. abruptly
* *Reasoning:* If a truck stops suddenly and causes the driver behind to slam on brakes, the stop was unexpected and sudden. "Abruptly" means suddenly and unexpectedly.
10. usually
* *Reasoning:* The sentence contrasts the normal situation ("held at school") with the current situation due to COVID-19 ("now virtual"). "Usually" indicates what normally happens.
Now let's go back to Sentence 2 and Sentence 6.
Remaining words after assigning 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10:
Used: anxiously, loudly, clearly, urgently, reluctantly, closely, abruptly, usually.
Left: famously, angrily.
Sentence 2: "Stefan usually gets along ______ with his friends."
Sentence 6: "The man shouted ______ for his dog to go back home."
If we put famously in Sentence 2: "Stefan usually gets along famously with his friends." This is a perfect idiomatic fit.
If we put angrily in Sentence 6: "The man shouted angrily for his dog to go back home." This makes sense; he might be frustrated with the dog.
Let's double check if "loudly" could fit Sentence 6 better. "The man shouted loudly..." It's grammatically correct but less descriptive than "angrily". And "loudly" is definitely the best fit for Sentence 3 ("play their music much too loudly"). So, Sentence 3 = loudly, Sentence 6 = angrily.
