To identify adverbs, we look for words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In the sentence, "right" modifies the prepositional phrase "on the cheek" (or the action of licking), and "Incredible" (though sometimes considered an interjection, in the context of adverb - like usage for emphasis here, or perhaps "right" is the main adverb. Wait, "right" is an adverb as it modifies the preposition "on" (indicating the exact place of the action of licking). Also, "Incredible" could be an adverb in an exclamatory sense, but more clearly, "right" is an adverb. Wait, let's re - examine:
- "right": It is an adverb as it modifies the prepositional phrase "on the cheek" (telling where exactly the lion licked Jorge).
- "Incredible": If we consider it as an adverb (though it's often an adjective, in the exclamatory sentence "Incredible! " it can function as an adverb of manner or degree for the situation, but more straightforwardly, "right" is an adverb. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's check the parts of speech:
- Noun/pronoun: Jorge, lion, that, him, mane, cheek
- Verb: was, strolling, had, walked, up (wait, no, "up" is a preposition? Wait, the color - coded parts: "down" is a preposition, "up" is a preposition, "on" is a preposition. "right" is an adverb (modifying "on the cheek"), and "Incredible" - maybe "Incredible" is an adjective, but in the exclamation, maybe it's used as an adverb. Wait, the adverb color is the blue - purple one. So the adverbs are "right" and maybe "Incredible"? No, "Incredible" is an adjective usually. Wait, let's list the adverbs:
Looking at the sentence: "Jorge was strolling down Fifth Avenue when a lion that had an exquisite mane walked up to him and licked him right on the cheek. Incredible! "
The word "right" is an adverb (it modifies the prepositional phrase "on the cheek", indicating the exactness of the location of the action). "Incredible" - if we consider it as an adverb (though it's an adjective, in the exclamatory sentence, it can be seen as an adverb describing the situation). But more accurately, "right" is an adverb. Wait, maybe the answer is "right" and "Incredible"? Wait, no, "Incredible" is an adjective. Wait, let's check the color - coded words. The adverb color is the sixth one (blue - purple). The words not color - coded yet (except the ones with colors) are "right" and "Incredible". So "right" is an adverb, and "Incredible" - maybe the system considers "Incredible" as an adverb. But let's confirm:
Adverbs typically modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. "Right" modifies the prepositional phrase (which is part of the verb phrase "licked him..."), so it's an adverb. "Incredible" is an adjective, but in the exclamation, it's used to modify the whole situation, so maybe as an adverb. But the main adverb here is "right". Wait, maybe I missed. Let's re - read the sentence:
The words without color - coding (except the ones with the given parts of speech) are "right" and "Incredible". So the adverbs are "right" and "Incredible"? No, "Incredible" is an adjective. Wait, maybe the answer is "right" and "Incredible" is not. Wait, let's check a grammar resource: Adverbs can be of place, time, manner, degree, etc. "Right" here is an adverb of place (or degree) modifying the preposition "on". So the adverbs in the sentence are "right" and maybe "Incredible" (if we consider it as an adverb in the exclamatory context). But the most obvious one is "right".
