Adverbs and Adjectives
Adverbs and adjectives are both types of modifiers, but they serve different functions in a sentence.
Statement A: Both adverbs and adjectives modify each other.
False. Adverbs and adjectives do not modify each other. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns by providing more information about them, such as size, color, or shape. Adverbs, on the other hand, modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by providing information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.
Statement B: Adverbs take the place of verbs in some instances.
True. Adverbs can sometimes take the place of verbs in a sentence, especially in cases where the verb is understood or implied. For example, in the sentence "She speaks softly," the adverb "softly" provides information about how she speaks. In this case, the verb "speaks" is not explicitly stated but is understood.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' – Only B is true.
