Read the sentence. The endangered Borneo pygmy elephant lives contentedly in Malaysia. Which word in the sentence is an example of an adverb? endangered elephant lives contentedly

The correct answer is contentedly, which is an adverb of manner that means "in a happy, satisfied way." Adverbs usually describe the action of the verb. In this case, it illustrates the activity of the verb "live."

The other alternatives are not correct because "endangered" is an adjective that means at risk of extinction, "elephant" is a noun, and "live" is a verb.

Contentedly is the answer. I took the test.
