Question

Identify and replace the Adverb in the following sentence with an Adverb Phrase of the same meaning:
He wore the golden crown proudly. [Intermediate]

• A. He wore the crown made of gold with pride.
• B. He wore the golden crown with pride.
• C. He wore the crown made of gold proudly.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B He wore the golden crown with pride.

An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.

Option B is correct. Not only has the adverb "proudly" been replaced by an adverb phrase, it also retains the meaning of the original adverb. The adverb has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride".

Option A is incorrect. While the adverb "proudly" has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride", the adjective "golden" has been unnecessarily changed to "made of gold". The question asks only for the adverb to be replaced.

Option C is incorrect as it is not the adverb that has been replaced by an adverb phrase, but the adjective "golden" has been replaced by an adjective phrase.

Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.
