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).
