Answer 1

Hint: Adverb is a word or a phrase which helps to modify or qualifies an adjective, verb, or any other adverb or a word group. It expresses a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc.
Example- “She spoke softly.”

Complete step by step answer:
To find out the correct option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence, we first need to analyze all the options provided in the question:
A) The brightly sun is shining: Adverbs are inserted after the verb. The verb here is ‘shining’ and the Adverb is ‘brightly’. Hence, this is not the correct option.

B) Brightly the sun is shining: Since the Adverb ‘brightly’ is not after the verb ‘shining’, hence, this is not the correct option.

C) The sun is shining brightly: Since the Adverb ‘brightly’ is after the verb ‘shining’, hence, this is the correct option.

D) NO CHANGE: This option is not correct because there is a change in the given statement.

So, the correct answer is “Option b”. The sun is shining brightly.

Note:
 Adverbs can also be inserted before the verb according to the statement given and it can also be put in the beginning or end of a statement.
