Explanation: The word "carefully" is the adverb form of the adjective "careful", which describes how she closed the door. The adverb "carefully" suggests that she closed the door with caution and gentleness.
2) The Russian soldiers fought f*** for peace and freedom.
Explanation: The word "for" is not an adverb, but a preposition indicating the purpose or reason for the Russian soldiers' fight. The adverb form of the word "hard" could fit into the blank to indicate the intensity or effort put into their fight.
3) The territory has been checked for explosives, so we can start.
Explanation: The word "so" is not an adverb, but a coordinating conjunction that connects the first part of the sentence with the second part. "So" indicates the result or consequence of the territory being checked for explosives. Therefore, the word "we can" is missing in the sentence and can be placed in the blank to complete the thought.
4) The wind began to blow and we had to find a shelter.
Explanation: The word "and" is not an adverb but a coordinating conjunction that connects two ideas or actions. It is not appropriate to replace it with an adverb in this sentence.
5) They had to train **to achieve even the slightest result.
Explanation: The adverb form of the word "hard" should be used to describe the intensity or effort put into their training. This would indicate that they had to train with a lot of effort in order to achieve even the slightest result.
6) It wasn't easy to parachute, the wind was blowing **.
Explanation: The word "not" is not an adverb but an adverbial modifier that negates the adjective "easy". The blank in this sentence requires an adverb to describe how the wind was blowing. A suitable adverb could be "strongly" or "fiercely" to indicate the force with which the wind was blowing.
7) I can't play the drums, but I can play the guitar quite **.
Explanation: The word "quite" is an adverb modifying the verb "play". It suggests that the person is able to play the guitar fairly well or skillfully.
8) ** drivers feel helpless on slippery roads.
Explanation: The word "slippery" is an adjective describing the noun "roads". In this sentence, we need an adverb to describe how these drivers feel. A suitable adverb could be "many" to indicate that a lot of drivers feel helpless on slippery roads.
9) The rest of the group was moving so ** that we had to wait for them.
Explanation: The word "so" is not an adverb but a subordinating conjunction used to introduce a subordinate clause that describes the intensity or extent of the group's movement. The blank in this sentence requires an adverb to describe how the group was moving. A suitable adverb could be "slowly" to indicate the pace of their movement.
10) After a month of training, we could do the trick **.
Explanation: The word "the" is not an adverb, but a definite article indicating a specific noun. The blank in this sentence requires an adverb to describe how they could do the trick after a month of training. A suitable adverb could be "easily" to suggest that they were able to perform the trick without much difficulty.
