Question

adverb or adjective? match the word on the left to its description on the right. adjective a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of a verb, adjective, or adverb adverb a word that modifies a noun

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of adjective and adverb:

• An adjective is a word that modifies a noun (e.g., "red" in "red apple").
• An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb (e.g., "quickly" in "run quickly").

So we match:

• "Adjective" with "a word that modifies a noun" (since adjectives describe nouns).
• "Adverb" with "a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of a verb, adjective, or adverb" (since adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs).

Answer:

• Adjective: a word that modifies a noun
• Adverb: a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of a verb, adjective, or adverb
