Answer:

B. blew

Step-by-step explanation:

An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place or time. So in this case, the adverb would he blew because he blew his red whistle. I hope this helped!

An adverb is an adjective + a verb. Meaning, it's a word that describes what someone/something is doing during the action.


A (whistle) & C (referee) are both nouns - person, place, or thing.

D (red) is just an adjective - describing something


B would make the most sense, it's telling you what the referee does with his whistle.





Hope this helped!
