Answer 1

The sentences with ambiguous or incorrect use of adverbs are (a), (b), and (e), due to missing punctuation or mistyped words. Adverbs should clearly modify their intended part of speech, and sentences should be punctuated correctly for clarity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three sentences with ambiguous or incorrect use of adverbs are as follows:

1. We ended the game quickly running home. (Adverb should be 'quickly' to modify the verb 'ended'.)
2. We played the dites game continuously eating snacks. (This sentence is confusing and could benefit from rephrasing; the word 'dites' seems to be a typo and should perhaps be 'dice', and it's ambiguous whether 'continuously' modifies 'played' or 'eating'.)
3. Our food is running out, now we have to go to the store. (The use of 'now' is not incorrect, but the sentence should have a comma before 'now' since it connects two independent clauses.)

Adverbs are important for clarity and precision in sentence structure. They modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, explaining how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

When revising sentences with adverbs, make sure they clearly modify the correct part of the sentence and that the sentence structure is sound with appropriate punctuation.
