Which ones of the given words are not the adverbs:-
A. Already
B. Greedy
C. Certainly
D. Scarce
E. often
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - B and D only:
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs and often answer questions like how, when, where, or to what extent.
- A. Already (Adverb – indicates time: "She has already left.")
- B. Greedy (Adjective – describes a noun: "He is a greedy person.")
- C. Certainly (Adverb – expresses certainty: "She will certainly come.")
- D. Scarce (Adjective – describes a noun: "Water is scarce in the desert.")
- E. Often (Adverb – indicates frequency: "She often visits her grandparents.")
Thus, B (Greedy) and D (Scarce) are not adverbs, making the correct answer "B and D only."
