grammar and punctuation unit test
which sentence demonstrates correct placement of an adverb modifying an adjective? (1 point)
○ the energetic dog very barked
○ the redwood tree was incredibly tall
○ never, the lost driver checked the map.
○ the organized drawer made her smile perfectly

Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence with an adverb modifying an adjective, we analyze each option:

• "The energetic dog very barked": "very" is an adverb, but it should modify an adjective, not the verb "barked". Incorrect.
• "The redwood tree was incredibly tall": "incredibly" is an adverb modifying the adjective "tall". Correct structure.
• "Never, the lost driver checked the map": "never" is an adverb, but its placement is incorrect (should be "The lost driver never checked the map"). Incorrect.
• "The organized drawer made her smile perfectly": "perfectly" modifies the verb "made", not an adjective. Incorrect.

Answer:

The redwood tree was incredibly tall
