Dear Scholars,
Some of these are very easy, some much harder. See what you can do with them.
Identify the adjectives and adverbs and what words they modify.
Example:
Ginger spoke glowingly of Kyoko's lovely hat.
"Glowingly" is an adverb modifying "spoke".
"Lovely" is an adjective modifying "hat".
1-10 are fairly easy. The rest are more difficult. Do only the ones you would like to do. Be sure to look up words you don't know.
