Test: Type II (Adverbs) - Bank Exams MCQ

Option B 'adverb' is the correct answer as 'clearly' is modifying the meaning of the verb 'reads'; simply put, it shows how Bill read the story.
Option A is an incorrect answer because a 'pronoun' belongs to that category of nouns that can be used as a substitute for nouns. 'Clearly' does not substitute any given nouns.
Option C is incorrect because an 'adjective' is any word naming an attribute of any noun and the underlined word is not regarding nouns. 'Clearly' means someone is ready and prepared and there are no obstacles, it is modifying the verb 'reads'.
Option D is incorrect because a noun is a naming word and 'clearly' is not a name of anything; it is an action word.

The sentence is about an exam paper that was easy "this year", and "this year" suggests that it's in mentioned in relation to the previous year. So, we use an adverb that most appropriately completes the sentence. 'Relatively' means 'in relation to'. When placed in the sentence, it means 'in relation to last year', since this completes the sentence in meaning, option C is correct. 'Effectively' means 'to accomplish the expected result', it's not relative to what the sentence means, hence option A is incorrect. 'Literally' means 'in a literal sense, from word to word', this isn't relevant to the sentence hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because this word does not exist in the English dictionary, nor is it used in Standard English.

The adverb "though" is employed to express a contrast with the preceding statement, as is the case with both sentences here. "Also" is used to indicate something in addition to other items. On the other hand, "but" is an adverb that signifies "merely" and can modify a verb or an adjective. "So" is used to emphasize a characteristic. As a result, the correct response is option D.

An adverb is a word or phrase that qualifies or changes an adjective, verb or another adverb, to express a relation of a situation, cause etc.
The correct answer is  C) gladly as it ends with 'ly' and is spelled correctly.

Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'gladder' is the comparative adjective of glad, the word is misspelled, and 'gladdest' is the superlative adjective of  'glad'.

In the above mentioned sentence, the most appropriate word to be filled in the blank is Option C “kindly”, as it is grammatically the most suitable word given the nature of the sentence. The sentence describes the attitude of the teacher towards her naughty children, and with the given options, the correct form of ‘kind’ should be “kindly.” "kindly" modifies the verb "spoke" as it tells us the way in which the teacher spoke to the students.
The other options, “kind”, “kindness”, and “kindliness” are not suitable forms to be included in the sentence according to the situation provided, hence Option C is the correct answer.

Option B is the correct answer because ‘regularly’ means ‘to do something frequently’. Thus, ’regularly’ is the most appropriate adverb, which modifies the verb exercise, to complete the meaning of this sentence.
Option A is incorrect because ‘regular’ is an adjective and it is grammatically incorrect for this sentence.
Option C is incorrect because ‘regularize’ is a verb and it is not the grammatically appropriate word for this sentence.
Option D is incorrect because ‘to regulate’ is a verb and it is grammatically incorrect for this sentence.

The correct answer is C) I felt suddenly sick. The adverb "suddenly" should be placed immediately before or after the verb "felt" to modify it properly. In this case, the adverb is placed in the middle of the verb phrase "felt sick," which disrupts the natural flow of the sentence and makes it awkward.

The correct sentence with the adverb in the correct position is C) I regularly visit my mum. The adverb "regularly" is properly placed before the verb "visit" to modify it correctly.

A) "I get often headaches" is incorrect because the adverb "often" should be placed before the verb "get" to modify it properly: "I often get headaches."

B) "He forgot always my birthday" is incorrect because the adverb "always" should be placed before the verb "forgot" to modify it properly: "He always forgot my birthday."

D) "She speaks fluently Spanish" is incorrect because the adverb "fluently" should be placed before the verb "speaks" to modify it properly: "She speaks Spanish fluently."

The correct sentence with the adverb in the correct position is B) The team played brilliantly. The adverb "brilliantly" is properly placed after the verb "played" to modify it correctly.

A) "We went last year to Morocco on holiday" is incorrect because the adverb "last year" should be placed after the verb "went" to modify it properly: "We went to Morocco on holiday last year."

C) "She played softly the piano" is incorrect because the adverb "softly" should be placed before the object "the piano" to modify the verb "played" properly: "She played the piano softly."

D) "I'm going to carry carefully the eggs" is incorrect because the adverb "carefully" should be placed before the verb "carry" to modify it properly: "I'm going to carefully carry the eggs."

The statement that is false is D) We use an adverb in place of a noun. Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and they typically answer the questions of how, when, where, how often, or to what extent something happens. Adverbs do not replace nouns.
