Feedback We use adverbs to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause or a whole sentence. In the test sentence we add more information about the adjective ‘beautiful’ that means ‘very attractive’.Adverbs have many different meanings and functions. They are especially important for indicating the time(when), manner (the way something happens or is done), place (where), degree (how) and frequency (how often) of something. In the test sentence we need to choose a degree adverb. Degree adverbs express degrees of qualities, properties, states, conditions and relations. In the test sentence the adverb expresses the degree of state: to what extent Sarah is beautiful.Adverbs of degree usually end in -ly (completely, fairly). Among the test variants, only one ends in -ly:ANSWER 3. As for other variants, (1) amaze is a verb, (2) amazing is an adjective, (4) amazeful is a nonce word (an invented word).
D. amazeful
