Question

Which kind of adverb is the word in capitals? “The airline passengers were COMPLETELY exhausted after their long flight.”

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

Hint:

Adverbs of degree usually modify:
adjectives (very tired),
other adverbs (quite slowly),
sometimes verbs. Look for words answering \emph{how much?}

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify what the adverb modifies. The word “completely” modifies the adjective “exhausted”.
Step 2: Recall the function of an adverb of degree. An adverb of degree tells us to what extent or how much something happens or is true. Examples: very, quite, extremely, completely.
Step 3: Classify the adverb. Since “completely” expresses the \emph{extent} of exhaustion, it is an adverb of degree.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{Adverb of Degree}} \]
