Question

Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:
The sun is brightly shining.

• A. The brightly sun is shining.
• B. Brightly the sun is shining.
• C. The sun is shining brightly.
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is C The sun is shining brightly.

'Bright' is an adjective to which 'ly' is added to make it an adverb. It is an adverb of manner which generally goes at the end of the sentence. Here, the adverb is modifying the verb thus, it should be placed before a verb. Options A and B are not grammatically correct per rule. 'Brightly' is the verb in the sentence.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
