Fill in the blank with a suitable adverb clause:
He looks more handsome ______________
A. and smart in real life
B. than he does in the picture
C. But he isn't smart
D. yet he isn't polished

Answer 1

Hint:A word or phrase that modifies a noun, adjective, other adverb, determiner, clause, preposition, or sentence is an adverb. Typically, adverbs convey the way, location, time, frequency, degree, degree of certainty, etc., answering questions like how? In what manner? When? Where? , and to what degree?
An adverb phrase is simply a group of two or more words that in a sentence act as an adverb.

Complete answer:
An adverb clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb and, by modifying an adjective, a verb or an adverb, functions as an adverb. Generally, adverb clauses start with a subordinate conjunction (since, because, while, etc.). Option B is right because it is a comparison adverb clause ('than' is a comparative adverb). Option A is wrong because it is not a clause, but a word. Choice C is wrong since it contains a coordinate clause, while an adverb clause is a subordinate clause.

Additional information:
Be careful not to construct a modifier that is misplaced-
A word (or group of words) that does not explicitly link to what it is meant to modify is a misplaced modifier. A misplaced modifier makes the context of a sentence vague or incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’

Note:Remember that Just as an adverb may modify a verb, adjective, or other adverb, a verb, adverb, or adjective can be further represented by an adverb phrase with more than one term.
