what direction. “New York State” is a proper noun indicating a place. “Motto”
is a noun. In this sentence, “Latin” is an adjective modifying the noun

mean) that is also modifying the noun “word.”

verb “drive.”

(Mark Twain)

6. A: “When” is an adverb indicating the time at or during which something

happened. “At the end” also indicates when, but is a prepositional phrase.
“At” is a preposition, “the” is an article, and “end” is a noun. “Of the week”
in “of the week’s work” is also a prepositional phrase. “Of” is the
preposition, “the” is the article, and “week” is the noun. “Tired” is an
adjective.

sunny?
A. today and tomorrow

D. rainy and sunny
Answer
7. B: In this sentence, “tomorrow” is an adverb indicating when. “Today”

could also be used in the same way as an adverb, but in this sentence it is
used as a noun: “…today is rainy…” “Tomorrow will be sunny” is an
example of using “tomorrow” as a noun. “When” is also an adverb
indicating under what conditions (“it will be sunny”). “Rainy” and “sunny”
are both adjectives.
Question

experimental treatment.
A. patients’
B. surprised
C. experimental
D. pleasantly
Answer
8. D: “Pleasantly” is an adverb modifying the adjective “surprised” that

Question
9. “Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.” (Satchel Paige)
A. sometimes and just
B. sits and thinks
C. just and I
D. and and sits
Answer
9. A: “Sometimes” (in both instances) is an adverb indicating when and

under what conditions. “Just” is an adverb modifying the verb “sits” that
means only or simply. It indicates how or in what manner. “Thinks” is a
verb. “I” is a pronoun. “And” is a conjunction that connects the two verbs.
[Note: This famous quotation is ungrammatical in that the correct first
person singular present tense would be “I sit and think…I just sit.” Satchel
Paige (1906-1982), a great African-American baseball player, used non-
standard English expressions. He was also known for his witty quotations,
such as “Don’t look back; something may be gaining on you.” However,
the purpose of this question is to identify adverbs, so the incorrect verb
tenses are not an issue here. They also make the quotation more
memorable.]
Question
10. “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father, and
refuse thy name….”
A. art
B. thou
C. wherefore
D. thy
Answer
10. C: “Wherefore” is an adverb indicating for what purpose. It means

“why” in the sense of “for what future purpose?” rather than “why” in the
sense of “from what past cause?” Since they come from feuding families,
Juliet wishes Romeo could deny his family of origin along with his name.
“Art” is the Elizabethan form of “are” and is the second person present
tense of the verb “to be.” “Thou” is the Elizabethan form of “you” and is a
personal pronoun. “Thy” is the Elizabethan form of “your” and is a
possessive personal pronoun.
