Mark closed the heavy velvet curtain quietly. In this sentence _____. A.. heavy is an adjective modifying velvet B.. quietly is an adjective modifying curtain C.. quietly is an adverb modifying closed D.. none of the above

Answer 1

C is just a confirmation, if want an explanation check the other answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Quietly is an adverb modifying closed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C because the adverb quietly modifies the verb "closed" by telling the reader how the curtain was closed.

We know that option A is not correct because heavy does not describe velvet, it describes the curtain.

We also know that option B is not correct because quietly does not modify curtain, it modifies the verb closed.

Therefore, the answer is C.
