Adverbs should always be placed where there can be no doubt as to what
they are intended to modify. A mistake in placing the adverb in the
sentence often alters the meaning of the sentence. Choose the right word
in each of the following sentences:
1. He looked glad--gladly when I told him the news.
2. Slaves have always been treated harsh--harshly.
3. I prefer my eggs boiled soft--softly.
4. The lecturer was tolerable--tolerably well informed.

pleasant--pleasantly.

9. I was exceeding--exceedingly glad to hear from you.
10. The bashful young man appeared very awkward--awkwardly.
11. The young lady looked beautiful--beautifully and she sang
