ANSWER: A, B, C, D

A includes an adverb of place which is "in World War 1". "World War 1" describes the verb "fight" by stating its location and is thus an adverb of place

B includes an adverb which is "usually". "usually" describes the action/verb "held" by stating how often it was "held"

C, well you know, "carefully".

D should have an adverb too if there isn't any mistake in the sentence as it has the adverb "deeply" which describes the action/verb "worried" by stating the degree of her worrying for George. NOTE: "worried" in this context is NOT an adjective

E does not have an adverb. Although it may seem like "exactly" is the adverb, "exactly" is describing "eight inches long" which is an adjective, not a verb. Therefore, there should be no adverb because the verb in this sentence, which is "said", was not described in any way.

Therefore, the answers are A, B, C and D.
I'm sorry if my answers are wrong and hopefully you can tell me why if it is...

Hope this answer helped :) Also, people should be thinking everyday, or else nothing will have meaning and our daily lives won't be able to function normally. I hope you change your mindset about that, it's really fun to learn on weekends too :)
