Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs; nouns name people, places, things, or ideas.
run — can be a noun (for example: "I went for a run") and can also be a verb.
chair — a concrete noun (for example: "She sat on the chair").
quickly — an adverb that modifies verbs (for example: "He finished quickly"); it does not name a person, place, thing, or idea.
peace — an abstract noun referring to a state or idea (for example: "They sought peace").
Conclusion: "quickly" is the only word listed that is not a noun, because it functions as an adverb.
