Cevap:Although the chief architect spoke 【confidently】 to the city council about the project's timeline, she privately felt 【uneasy】 about meeting the autumn deadline.

Cevap

The correct completion uses 'confidently' to modify the action verb 'spoke' and 'uneasy' to serve as the predicate adjective following the linking verb 'felt'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the correct modifier form for the first blank.
The first blank modifies the action verb 'spoke', requiring the adverb 'confidently'.
An action verb describes an action and must be modified by an adverb rather than an adjective.
2
Determine the correct modifier form for the second blank.
The second blank follows the verb 'felt', which acts as a linking verb in this context, requiring the adjective 'uneasy'.
Linking verbs connect the subject to a subject complement (an adjective) that describes the state of the subject.
