Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct sentence: She plays piano beautifully.
Explanation:
"Beautifully" is an adverb modifying the verb "plays," describing how she plays the piano.
He is quite intelligent. — "Quite" is a degree adverb modifying the adjective "intelligent," not a verb.
The soup is really hot. — "Really" modifies the adjective "hot" (degree), so it does not modify a verb.
He is very tired. — "Very" modifies the adjective "tired" (degree), so it does not modify a verb.
