Question

Exercise 3 Underline the correct word given in parentheses. Draw an arrow to the word it modifies.

The poison ivy itched (bad, badly) for at least a week.

Answer 1

badly

Step-by-step explanation:

'bad' is an adjective that is supposed to describe a noun which comes right after it. However, 'bad' doesn't describe 'for' since for isn't a noun.

Hence, 'badly' is the right answer since it is an adverb that describes the verb 'itched'.
