Which word functions as an adverb in the sentence?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Daily waterings keep Sheila's plants healthy, and she watches closely for early signs of disease.

Explanation:

Adverbs are a part of speech that modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. They tell us how, when, where or in what manner something happened. Adverbs usually end on -ly, but that is not the only suffix they can end on.

In the given sentence by looking at the form, we can find several adverbs: daily, healthy, closely, early. But only closely modifies the verb. The rest modifies nouns, so they are adjectives.
