Identifying Adjective and Adverb errors - Praxis Writing

Card 0 of 1

Question

Replace the underlined portion with the answer choice that results in a sentence that is clear, precise, and meets the requirements of standard written English.

We had a terrible time at the football game. It was bitter cold.

Answer

Here, the correction simply involves making the adjective "bitter" into the adverb "bitterly." This is necessary because it modifies the verb "was" rather than the noun cold.
