Question

Select whether true or false:
She was half crying, half laughing.
In the above-mentioned sentence, the underlined words are acting as adjectives.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

An adverb is a word or phrase that qualifies or changes an adjective, verb or another adverb, to express a relation of a situation, cause etc.

An adverb of time can be positioned in the beginning to tell how often an action takes and in the end to tell when an action takes place.

The correct answer is B as half indicates how she was crying and laughing.

So, half acts as adverb here.

The other option is wrong as 'how' doesn't act as an adjective in the given sentence.

The correct answer is B)False
