1. B “Leah reacts speedily” tuân thủ đúng quy tắc trạng từ đứng sau động từ nội động để bổ nghĩa trực tiếp cho hành động.

2. B “expertfully” là sai. Tính từ gốc là “expert”, trạng từ đúng là “expertly” (như trong bảng từ vựng).

3. A “Andrea gladly accepts” đặt trạng từ ngay trước động từ chính “accepts”, cấu trúc hoàn toàn tự nhiên (S + Adv + V).

4. B “Andrea barely misses” là cấu trúc chuẩn xác nhất cho phó từ phủ định/giới hạn như “barely” (đứng trước động từ chính).

5. B “wild” + “-ly” tạo thành “wildly”. Lựa chọn A bị thiếu chữ ‘l’.

6. B “She soundly hits…” tuân thủ cấu trúc S + Adv + V. Phương án A sai vì phó từ không được chen giữa động từ và tân ngữ trực tiếp (hits the ball).
