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.
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) I seldom drive after sunset. | (II) seldom | Seldom means rarely, not often. It is placed before the main verb. |
| (B) She has been frequently absenting herself from the office. | (IV) frequently | Frequently means often. The continuous "has been absenting" shows a repeated habit. |
| (C) The train will arrive shortly. | (I) shortly | Shortly means soon, in a short time. It suits a future arrival. |
| (D) I am much satisfied with her conduct. | (III) much | Much is used as an adverb of degree meaning to a great extent before some past participles (much admired, much satisfied). |
