| adjective | adverb |

| even, more even, most even | evenly, more evenly, most evenly |
be sure to decide whether an adjective or an adverb is needed before choosing the correct form of the word.

Question 1
The verb "is" is a linking verb, so we need an adjective to describe the subject "one headlight". "Brighter" is the comparative form of the adjective "bright", while "more brightly" is an adverbial comparative form. So we choose "brighter".
The verb "spoke" is an action verb, and we need an adverb to modify it. "Kindly" is an adverb, while "kind" is an adjective. So we choose "kindly".
The noun "season" needs an adjective to modify it. "Busiest" is the superlative form of the adjective "busy", while "most busily" is an adverbial superlative form. So we choose "busiest".
