Question

Which kind of adverb is the word in capitals? “Arvind coughed LOUDLY to attract attention.”

• A. Adverb of Place
• B. Adverb of Degree
• C. Adverb of Time/Frequency
• D. Adverb of Manner

Hint:

Adverbs of manner usually:
end in \(-ly\),
modify action verbs. Ask the question \emph{how?} to identify them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify what the adverb modifies. The word “loudly” modifies the verb “coughed”.
Step 2: Recall the function of an adverb of manner. An adverb of manner tells us how an action is performed. Examples: loudly, slowly, carefully.
Step 3: Classify the adverb. Since “loudly” answers the question \emph{“How did Arvind cough?”}, it is an adverb of manner.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{Adverb of Manner}} \]
