Options:

Adverb of frequency

Adverb of manner

Adverb of reason

Adverb of Time

Correct Answer:

Adverb of reason

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Adverb of reason

 

  • Adverb of Frequency

    • Definition: Indicates how often an action occurs (e.g., always, sometimes, never).
    • Reason why it’s incorrect: "Therefore" does not tell us how frequently the action of leaving happens.
  • Adverb of Manner

    • Definition: Explains how or in what way an action is performed (e.g., quickly, slowly, carefully).
    • Reason why it’s incorrect: "Therefore" does not describe the manner in which the person left the apartment.
  • Adverb of Reason

    • Definition: Provides the reason or cause for the action (e.g., therefore, thus, hence).
    • Reason why it’s correct: "Therefore" explains the reason for leaving the apartment—it implies a cause-and-effect relationship.
  • Adverb of Time

    • Definition: Indicates when an action occurs (e.g., yesterday, today, soon).
    • Reason why it’s incorrect: "Therefore" does not indicate the timing of the action.
