Answer 1

Hint: The adverb is modifying the verb in the given sentence. In the sentence, the underlined word daily is used to indicate the number of times the action was done.

Complete answer:
 An adverb refers to a word that modifies an adjective or verb. In the given question, we need to identify the type of adverb of the underlined word.
When there is more than one adverb in a sentence, they go in the following order: manner, place (location), frequency, time, and reason. All these five types of adverbs are not used to modify a single word but are used when there are two or more adverbs.
To see which option is the most suitable, let us take a look at each of the given options, one by one.
Option ‘A’, manner, is used to describe how an action is performed.
Option ‘B’, place, is used to describe the location at which an action was done.
Option ‘C’, time, is used to describe when a particular action has, is, or is going to take place.
Option ‘D’, frequency, is used to describe for how long or how many times a particular action takes place.
In the given question, the underlined word is ‘daily’ and indicates how often the action takes place, and therefore, the correct answer is an option ‘D’, frequency.

Note: To answer such questions with ease it is necessary to have clarity regarding adverbs and its usage in varying contexts. It is advisable to remember the order of placement of adverbs. Emphasis must be given to practice adverbs when they modify verbs as well as when they modify adjectives.
