Zorluk: OrtaAdjective and Adverb Usage

Complete the passage by entering the correct grammatical forms of the modifiers in parentheses (use 'beautiful' for the first blank and 'harsh' for the second blank).

Cevap:The violinist played the intricate solo 【beautifully】 (beautiful), but the poor acoustics of the historic hall made the performance sound surprisingly 【harsh】 (harsh).

Cevap

The first blank requires the adverb 'beautifully' and the second blank requires the adjective 'harsh'.
The correct answers are 'beautifully' and 'harsh'. The adverb 'beautifully' correctly modifies the action verb 'played' to describe how the solo was performed. The adjective 'harsh' is correct because 'sound' functions as a linking verb in this context, meaning the modifier must be a predicate adjective that describes the subject noun 'performance'.
