Unit 26 Comparative And Superlative Adverbs

The correct answer is "The man cried anxiously." This sentence is written correctly because the adverb "anxiously" is used to modify the verb "cried," indicating how the man cried. The -ly ending is added to the adjective "anxious" to form the adverb.

The correct answer is "The wind blew strongly and knocked down the hiker." This sentence is written correctly because it uses the adverb "strongly" to describe how the wind blew, which is the correct form. The other options either use the incorrect adverb form "strongest" or use a comparative form "the stronger" which is not necessary in this context.

The correct answer is "Each day, he breathed harder and harder." This sentence is written correctly because it uses the comparative adverb "harder" to compare the intensity of his breathing each day. By repeating the word "harder," it emphasizes the increasing difficulty of his breathing over time.

The correct answer is "The man waved a red flag desperately." The adverb "desperately" is used correctly to modify the verb "waved" and convey the intensity or urgency of the action. The other options either have incorrect spelling ("desperatly") or incorrect word order ("desperate").

The correct answer is "The sun shined brightly in the sky." This sentence is written correctly because the verb "shined" is in the past tense, agreeing with the subject "sun." Additionally, the adverb "brightly" is used to describe how the sun shined.

The correct answer is "The man fell very hard on the rocks below." This sentence is written correctly because it uses the adverb "very" to modify the adjective "hard," indicating the intensity of the fall. Additionally, the use of the preposition "on" correctly shows the location of the rocks below.

The correct sentence is "The longer he waited, the more loudly his stomach grumbled." This sentence uses the correct comparative form of the adjective "long" (longer) and the correct comparative form of the adverb "loudly" (more loudly). It accurately conveys the idea that as the duration of waiting increased, the intensity of the stomach grumbling also increased.

The correct answer is "He waited the most patiently of anyone for a rescue." This sentence is written correctly because it uses the superlative form of the adjective "patiently" to compare the subject's level of patience to that of anyone else. The use of "the most" indicates the highest degree of patience.
