Explanation:

1. What part of speech is the underlined word "ever"?

The word "ever" in the sentence "There is no evidence that pirates ever made prisoners walk the plank" is an adverb. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and "ever" here modifies the verb "made" to indicate at any time.

The word "unlikely" is an adjective. Its base word is "likely" (meaning probable), and the prefix "un - " means not. So "unlikely" means not likely to happen or not probable.

The correct spelling of the word referring to precious stones or ornaments is "jewels". The double "l" in "jewells" is incorrect as the standard spelling for this noun is "jewels".

Answer:

adverb

2. Write the meaning of the underlined word "unlikely".
