Identify the adverb in the following sentence:My elderly uncle reads…

The correct answer is Option (3) → aloud

An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.

Here “aloud” tells how the uncle reads: in a voice that others can hear.

Option	What it tells	Example
(1) elderly	an adjective here: it describes the noun “uncle”; it ends in -ly, but it is not an adverb	My elderly neighbour walks with a stick.
(2) daily	an adjective here: it describes the noun “paper”	We buy a daily pass for the Metro.
(3) aloud (answer)	an adverb: it describes the verb “reads”	Please read the poem aloud so that the whole class can hear.
(4) family	a noun: it names the people he reads to	Our family eats dinner together every night.
