The answer is B: soon. The word soon is an adverb of time, which informs when something happened. The bird drew attention: when? soon (before long; quickly). Adverbs are words that modify other words or whole sentences. They are adverbs of place, manner, degree, condition etc. Lonely and perched are adjectives and drew is a verb.
