Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: Often
Definition: An adverb of frequency tells how often an action happens.
Why "Often" is correct: It indicates frequency. Example: "She often visits her grandmother."
Why "Quickly" and "Beautifully" are incorrect: They are adverbs of manner (they describe how something is done), not how frequently it happens.
Why "Happy" is incorrect: It is an adjective. The related adverb would be "happily," which is also a manner adverb.
Tip: To find an adverb of frequency, ask "how often?" (examples: always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never).
