Therefore, the statement "They Have Similar Meanings" accurately describes the nature of synonyms.

    Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They provide information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed. For example, in the sentence "She ran quickly," the adverb "quickly" modifies the verb "ran" by indicating the manner in which she ran. Similarly, in the sentence "He is extremely tall," the adverb "extremely" modifies the adjective "tall" by indicating the degree of his height. Adverbs can also modify other adverbs, as in the sentence "He spoke very softly," where "very" modifies the adverb "softly" to indicate the intensity of his speaking.

    • I Like Them A Lot

    • I Will Eat Them Without Socks

    • I Do Not Like Them With A Fox

    Correct Answer

    Explanation

This answer is consistent with the pattern established in the previous line of the Dr. Seuss quote, which states "I do not like them in a box." The rhyme scheme and repetition of the phrase "I do not like them" suggests that the next line will also express a dislike for something, and in this case, it is specifically a dislike for green eggs and ham when they are accompanied by a fox.
