Which sentence contains a correctly used modifier?
He spoke sharply to his sister
Which contains a correctly used modifier He spoke sharpky to his sister you feel goodly now that im over the flu The sauce tasted bitterly and you couldnt swallow it Joe looked sad at his broken bike?
"He spoke sharply" means he spoke in a sharp manner. The answer is a."Goodly" has no meaning in sentence b. That sentence calls for the adjective "well."It makes no sense to say the sauce tasted in a bitter manner. The sauce is not a sentient being that performs the act of tasting in a certain way. That sentence calls for "bitter"--an adjective that describes how the sauce tastes.A is the correct answer. The modifier sharply is an adjective to the word spoke. The suffix "ly" in this case is the correct one for the word sharp because it changes the word to make it an adjective rather than a direct object. In B, the word should be "good" as it is a direct object as is the case for C as well.Which sentence below contains a correctly used modifier in italics?
