B) Both are adverbs
C) I. adjective II. Adverb
D) I. adverb II. Adjective

Answer 1

Hint:An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjectives may come before the word they modify. An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs answer how, when, where, why, or to what extent—how often or how much.

Complete answer:
Option A) Both are adjectives – is an incorrect answer because both are not adjectives. As stated above an adjective is a word that modifies a noun or pronoun. So, in the sentence she is the pronoun. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Both are adverbs – is an incorrect answer because both the sentences are not adverbs. As explained above an adverb is a word that modifies verbs, adjectives and etc. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) I. adjective II. Adverb – is an incorrect answer because sentence I is not an adjective and sentence II is not an adverb. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) I. adverb II. Adjective – is the correct answer because sentence I is not an adverb and sentence II is an adjective. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence the correct answer is option D.

Note:It is important to understand the difference between an adverb and an adjective and they are- Rule 1- Adjectives modify nouns; adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Rule 2- An adjective always follows a form of verb. Rule 3- An adjective always follows a sense verb i.e. feel, taste, smell and etc.
