"Think about a time when you were telling
someone about a fun event, like a birthday party
or a sports game. If you said, 'I ran to the party,' it
tells them you ran, but how could adding adverbs
like 'I ran quickly to the party' or 'I ran excitedly to
the party' make your story more interesting? How
do adverbs help you explain exactly how
something happened in a way that makes it more
fun to listen to?"

"Imagine you’re describing how you played a game with your
friends. If you just said, 'I played the game,' it doesn’t give
much detail. But if you say, 'I played the game enthusiastically'
or 'I played the game carefully,' you can really show how you
felt or how you were playing. How do you think using adverbs
like these can help someone understand your experience
better? Can you think of a time when you used adverbs to
make a story more exciting or clear?"

How should sentence 2 be changed?

C.Change

careful to
carefully

A.Change

packed
to packs

B.Insert

comma
after
water

D.Change

heading
to headed

This is not correct because
‘packed’ is already the right
word to show an action we

did in the past.

This is not correct because there’s
no need for a comma after ‘water.’
The words ‘water and snacks’ are
a simple list and don’t need extra

punctuation.

This is correct because ‘careful’ is

an adjective, but we need an

adverb here to describe how we

packed. ‘Carefully’ tells us how we

packed the bags.

This is not correct

because ‘heading out’ is
already the right phrase

to show we are going

somewhere.
