Question

Answer

Adverb in the Sentence: Quite well

Explanation:
- An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It provides more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.
- In the given sentence, the adverb 'quite well' modifies the verb 'speaks' and provides information about how well he speaks English.
- The adverb 'quite' suggests that the person speaks English to a significant extent or degree.
- The adverb 'well' describes the quality or manner of speaking English. It indicates that the person speaks English with proficiency or skill.

Note: Adverbs often end in -ly, but not always. In this case, the adverb 'quite' does not end in -ly, but it still functions as an adverb by modifying the adjective 'well.'
