Identify the question that is being answered by the adverb modifier in the sentence below: Janice walked softly through the living room so she wouldn't wake her father.

The correct answer is: In what way she walked?

Explanation

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, adverbs, or sentence. Adverbs are words that express circumstances such as place, time, quantity, among others. Adverbs are used in a sentence when you want to describe a situation, place, or another as a response. In the phrase above, the adverb is "softly" because this word is modifying the verb "walked". This means the adverb modifier describes the way, Janice walked, and therefore, the adverb answers to the question "In what way she walked?"

voracity is the noun corresponding to the adjective voracious, which means (1) eager to consume a great amount of food, or (2) marked by an insatiable appetite. veracity is far more common than the rare voracity, so the latter is sometimes used in place of the former.
