What is an example of an adverb in a sentence?

  1. Angry

  2. Quickly

  3. His

  4. Theirs

The correct answer is: Quickly

The choice of "quickly" as an adverb is correct because adverbs describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often indicating the manner, time, place, or degree of the action. In this case, "quickly" modifies a verb by describing how an action is performed. On the other hand, "angry" is an adjective, which describes a noun rather than modifying a verb. "His" functions as a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership rather than modifying any part of a sentence. "Theirs" is also a possessive pronoun, serving a similar function as "his" and does not describe a verb or convey information about the action or manner.
