What are the three adverbs in this passage and the three words they modify?

Question

"Elaine had an extremely difficult job to perform, but no one could have guessed that from the way she breezed into the hospital room, smiling at the three of us, carefully reaching for the baseball cap she found on the bed and addressing the man who was seated on the same bed. I saw that her name tag identified her as the nurse practitioner, but Margaret (the patient, sitting in a chair) and Jack (her husband of 63 years) could not see that. Noticing Jack’s hearing aid, she said, “You’ll have to forgive me for yelling at you a bit, but I’m from Long Island.”

Answer 1

A general rule is that adverbs can sometimes be identified with the ending -ly, though this is not always the case. The function of the adverb is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or other adverb.

In the above statement, "Extremely" is the adverb that qualifies the adjective "difficult." The second adverb is "carefully" which qualifies the verb "reaching." The third adverb is "not" which modifies the verb "see."
