Question

The newspaper is delivered. (daily)
a- The newspaper is delivered daily.
b- The newspaper is daily delivered.
c- Daily, the newspaper is delivered.
d- A and B

Answer 1

Hint: Adverbs are those words that modify or describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs of frequency are those adverbs that indicate how often an action takes place.

Complete answer:
 As given in the hint, adverbs of frequency are a part of adverbs of time.
Let us look at the usage of adverbs of frequency :
For example- The boy and his friends come to visit the little puppies daily.
In the given question- We can conclude that the newspaper is delivered daily. Here, we have used the adverb of frequency ‘daily’ at the end, because adverbs of frequency are either placed at the beginning or at the end to add emphasis.
Now, let’s examine the given options-
Option a- ‘The newspaper is delivered daily’’ is the correct option because we can see the use of an adverb of frequency at the end of the sentence, to add further emphasis.
Option b- ‘The newspaper is daily delivered’ is an incorrect option because we cannot use the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence.
Option c- ‘Daily, the newspaper is delivered’ is an incorrect option because we cannot use the adverb of the frequency with a comma, also the adverb needs to be placed close to a verb.
Option d- ‘A and B’ is an incorrect option because only Option A is correct. The correct answer is Option ‘a’.

Note:
 Keep in mind, there are two types of adverbs of frequency- Definite frequency and indefinite frequency. The former indicates exactly how often an action takes place, whereas the latter doesn’t tell us the exact time.
