Question

Choose whether the following is true or false:
In the sentence, "She goes to the park when she's upset often", 'often' modifies the noun 'upset'.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

An adverb of frequency (in this case, "often") is usually placed directly before the main verb. When the main verb is absent, it is placed after the auxiliary verb (to be).
Th given statement is false because the adverb is placed incorrectly. It should be placed before the main verb "goes". Adverbs don't modify nouns, but because of the placement, it appears to modify the noun.
Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
