    Correct Answer
    A. Adverb
    Explanation
    The word "quickly" is classified as an adverb because it modifies a verb, indicating the speed or manner in which an action is performed. It does not describe a person, place, or thing (noun), nor does it show the relationship between two words (preposition). Additionally, it does not directly modify a noun (adjective). Therefore, "quickly" is correctly categorized as an adverb.

    Above and below are prepositions because they indicate the position of one thing in relation to another. They show the relationship between the noun that follows them and other elements in the sentence. Creamy and blue, on the other hand, are not prepositions as they do not indicate position or show a relationship between words.

    A preposition is a word that describes the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in a sentence. It shows the position, direction, time, or manner of the action being performed by the noun or pronoun. For example, in the sentence "The book is on the table," the preposition "on" describes the position of the book in relation to the table.

    Rate this question:

  • 11.

    Explanation
    The given answer is true because "of" is indeed a preposition. Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. "Of" is commonly used to indicate possession, origin, or association. For example, in the phrase "the book of the student," "of" shows the relationship between the book and the student. Therefore, "of" is a preposition.

    Is below and above a adverb?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given answer, "False," is correct. "Below" and "above" are not adverbs. They are prepositions that indicate position or location. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but "below" and "above" do not perform this function. Therefore, the statement that "below" and "above" are adverbs is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Are first and last adverbs.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    First and last are both adverbs. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb. In this case, "first" and "last" are modifying the verb "are" by indicating the position of the adverbs in relation to the subject. Therefore, the statement is true.

The options provided include verbs (jumping, swimming, playing; is, was, are, were, am) and prepositions (under, below, above). None of these function as adverbs. Adverbs often end in -ly, such as quickly, slowly, or quietly, though not all adverbs follow this pattern.
