where should an adverb modifying an adjective be placed in a sentence? (1 point)
immediately before the adjective
anywhere after the adjective
immediately after the adjective
anywhere before the adjective
incorrect

Explanation:

To determine where an adverb modifying an adjective is placed, we recall grammar rules: Adverbs that modify adjectives (such as "very" in "very happy") come immediately before the adjective. Let's analyze the options:

• "anywhere after the adjective": Incorrect, as adverbs modifying adjectives don't follow this pattern.
• "immediately after the adjective": Incorrect, adverbs modifying adjectives don't come after.
• "anywhere before the adjective": Incorrect, it's specifically immediately before, not just anywhere before.
• "immediately before the adjective": Correct, as per grammar rules (e.g., "extremely beautiful" – "extremely" (adverb) is immediately before "beautiful" (adjective)).

Answer:

A. immediately before the adjective
