Grammar: Adverb

Question:

Pick out the correct sentence having Adverb of Manner :

Options:

They went everywhere

He will come again

Shikha cried bitterly

I therefore left my apartment

Correct Answer:

Shikha cried bitterly

Explanation:
 The sentence with the adverb of manner is: Shikha cried bitterly.

Here's why:

  • They went everywhere describes the direction of their going, not the manner.
  • He will come again tells us when he will come, not how he will come.
  • I therefore left my apartment explains the reason for leaving, not the way of leaving.
  • Shikha cried bitterly describes how Shikha cried, emphasizing the intensity of her crying. "Bitterly" is an adverb of manner modifying the verb "cried."

Therefore, "Shikha cried bitterly" is the only sentence that contains an adverb of manner.
