16. slow (adj)

17. angry (adj)

19. well (adv)

Explanation:

Usually, when we transform the adjective to the adverb form, we add "ly" at the end of the adjective.

Example: Excited -> Excitedly

However, if the adjective ends with letter "y", you must change "y" to "i" and then add "ly" at the end.

Example: hungry -> hungri + ly = hungrily; angry -> angrily

In addition, there are several special adjectives that their adverb forms are totally different from the above rule. A special adjective can be found in the exercise is:

1. good (adjective) - its adverb form is "well" (adverb)
