We saw a most beautifully presented play. (most modifies beautifully)
She very quietly sang to her baby. (very modifies quietly)
I only really like mysteries. I don't care so much for romances. (only modifies really)
To determine which sentence has an underlined adverb modifying another adverb, you need to identify sentences where one adverb describes the manner or degree of another adverb.
