  • a)
    Adverb
  • b)
    Adjective
  • c)
    Idiom
  • d)
    Active verb
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Adverb:
- In the sentence "Don't talk so loud," the word "loud" is used to modify the verb "talk" by indicating how the action is being performed.
- Adverbs often answer questions such as how, when, where, why, or to what extent an action is performed.
- In this case, "loud" answers the question of how the talking is being done.

Adjective:
- Adjectives are used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns.
- In the sentence "Don't talk so loud," the word "loud" is not describing a noun or pronoun, but rather how the action of talking is being done.
- Therefore, "loud" is not being used as an adjective in this context.

Idiom:
- An idiom is a word or phrase that is not taken literally and has a different meaning from its literal interpretation.
- The sentence "Don't talk so loud" is a common expression used to ask someone to speak more softly or quietly.
- While the sentence contains an idiom, the word "loud" itself is not an idiom.

Active verb:
- An active verb is a verb that expresses an action performed by the subject.
- In the sentence "Don't talk so loud," the word "loud" is not functioning as a verb but as an adverb modifying the verb "talk."
- Therefore, "loud" is not an active verb in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct classification for the word "loud" in the sentence "Don't talk so loud" is as an adverb.

Which of the following given option is NOT an adverb?
  • a)
    Creatively
  • b)
    Rarely

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • Let us explore the given options:
    • 'Creatively' is an adverb that means in a way that produces or uses original and unusual ideas.
    • 'Rarely' is a frequency adverb, we can use them to refer to things that almost never happen, or do not happen very often. They have a negative meaning. We use them without not. Hardly ever, scarcely and seldom are other frequency adverbs.
    • 'Greedy' is an adjective which means excessively or inordinately desirous of wealth, profit, etc. The adverb of 'Greedy' is 'Greedily'.
    • 'Well' is an adverb of manner that tells us how something is done or happens. Most adverbs of manner end in –ly such as badly, happily, sadly, slowly, quickly, and others that include well, hard, and fast.
  • Hence, the option 'Greedy' is not an adverb.
