AAdjective
BAdverb
CNoun
DPronoun
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Adverb
1. An adverb generally modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
2. "Sweetly" tells how she sang.
3. An adjective would describe a noun, such as "sweet voice".
**Why not the others:** An adjective describes a noun, "sweetly" is not a noun, and it does not stand in for a noun as a pronoun does.
