AWESOME question... "You follow the arc of the handle to Arcturus!"
Arcturus
Yes. Alpha, The first letter of the Greek Alphabet, means it is the brightest star in the constellation. Bootes identifies the Constellation. A few very bright stars have a single name.

They're easily recognizable groups of fairly bright stars that are part of a constellation but not all of it.)
Orion
The Scorpius constellation has at least 18 bright stars. There are many more too, of course.
Arcturus
"Follow the arc to Arcturus." ("And then speed to Spica.")
Yes. Alpha, The first letter of the Greek Alphabet, means it is the brightest star in the constellation. Bootes identifies the Constellation. A few very bright stars have a single name.
Boötes is a constellation in the northern sky, located between 0° and +60° declination, 13 and 16 hours of right ascension on the celestial sphere.Coordinates: 15h 00m 00s, +30° 00′ 00″
Arcturus (in Bootes) and Antares (in Scorpius) are GIANT, reddish stars and are extremely bright - in fact, they are almost as bright as the planets.
Epsilon Boötis (ε Boo / ε Boötis) is a star in the constellation Boötes. It has the traditional names Izar and Pulcherrima. It is actually a binary star, consisting of a bright orange giant and a smaller main sequence star. Epsilon Bootis is approximately 300 light years from the Sun/Earth.

Orion and his belt
The constellation you are referring to is Orion. It is a prominent winter constellation in the night sky, representing a hunter in Greek mythology. Orion is recognizable by three bright stars in a row that form his belt, and a sword hanging from his belt.
"Very" is the only adverb in that sentence. It is modifying the adjective "bright".
