Accepted Answer

### Question 7
# Brief Explanations:
To identify adverbs, we analyze each option:
- Option a: "fierce" is an adjective (describes a noun), so a is incorrect.
- Option b: "quite" (degree adverb), "suddenly" (adverb of manner/time), "violently" (adverb of manner) are all adverbs.
- Option c: "petrified" is an adjective (describes "Apostles"), so c is incorrect.
# Answer:
b. quite, suddenly, violently

### Question 8
# Brief Explanations:
The adverb "thoroughly" modifies the adjective "petrified" (since "thoroughly petrified" describes the Apostles; adverbs can modify adjectives). A verb would be an action word, and an adverb modifying an adverb is less common here. So it modifies an adjective.
# Answer:
c. adjective

### Question 9
# Brief Explanations:
Adverbs of degree modify the degree of an adjective, verb, or other adverb. "quite" modifies the adverb "suddenly" (or can modify adjectives/verbs to show degree), while "suddenly" and "violently" are adverbs of manner. So "quite" is the adverb of degree.
# Answer:
c. quite

### Question 10
# Brief Explanations:
We need a comparative adverb (since "than" is used). "quickly" is the adverb form of "quick", and its comparative is "more quickly". "more quicker" is incorrect (double comparison), and "most quickly" is superlative (not for "than" comparison).
# Answer:
a. more quickly

### Question 11
# Brief Explanations:
The context is about fulfilling religious obligations in a more serious way. "seriously" fits (adverb modifying "fulfill"). "well" is more about quality, and "perfectly" is less contextually appropriate here.
# Answer:
c. seriously

### Question 12
# Brief Explanations:
"farther" is used for physical distance (going down the driveway is physical distance), while "further" is for abstract concepts. "less further" is incorrect. So "farther" is correct.
# Answer:
b. farther

### Question 13
# Brief Explanations:
The sentence is asking if you can walk in a slower manner, but the structure "Can't you walk any slower?" is correct (using "any" with the comparative "slower" in a negative question context). "no slower" is not the right phrasing here, and "more slow" is incorrect (should be "more slowly" or "slower").
# Answer:
c. any slower

### Question 14
# Brief Explanations:
We need an adverb to modify the verb "spoke". "softly" is the adverb form of "soft". "soft" is an adjective, and "softer" is comparative (but "too" here is used to show degree, not comparison, so we need the adverb "softly").
# Answer:
b. softly

### Question 15
# Brief Explanations:
"felt" is a linking verb (like "be", "seem"), so it takes an adjective. "bad" is the adjective, "badly" is an adverb (would describe how he felt, but "felt bad" means he had a bad feeling, while "felt badly" would mean he touched something badly). So "bad" is correct. "more bad" is incorrect (comparative of "bad" is "worse").
# Answer:
a. bad
