Question

Replace the adverb with an adverb phrase of the same meaning:
You must temper the chocolate carefully.
A. You must be careful when tempering chocolate.
B. You must temper the chocolate with great caution.
C. You must temper the chocolate with care.
D. You must temper the chocolate with great efficiency.

Answer 1

Hint: The adverb phrase is the group of some words which altogether acts like an adverb. There you may get different parts of speech, but it signifies as an adverb. But we need to be cautious on this that the sentence should not be changed in its meaning at any course.

Complete step by step answer:
1. Here we are going to check each option one by one so that we can detect the correct option containing the proper adverb phase.
2. In the first option “You must be careful when tempering chocolate”, we can see the word ‘careful’ which is an adjective. But in the question sentence, the word ‘carefully’ is an adverb. Through an adverbial clause, it creates a complex sentence, but the adverb phrase is not introduced here.
3. In the second and fourth options, we have found the adverb phrases. They are “with great caution” and “with great efficiency”. But, if you notice it carefully, you will find that somewhere the meaning of the question sentence has been changed in these options. The word ‘carefully’ is not equivalent with ‘great caution’ or ‘great efficiency’.
4. But, in Option C, we have found that ‘with care’ is an adverb phrase. And, this is equivalent to the word ‘carefully’. Thus, we can find that the proper adverb phrase ‘with care’ is the replacement of the adverb ‘carefully’.

Thus, Option C is correct.

Note:
If we consider the sentence here as “I parked the car”, there we can’t find any adverb. But if we write “I parked the car here”, you can find the adverb ‘here’ which denotes the area. And when, if you will write it as “I parked the car right here”, there you can find the adverbial phrase which shows the place more distinctly. If we would write it again “I parked the car right here beside the shop”, there you will find another phrase being commenced with the preposition ‘beside’. Although this is preceded with a preposition, it eventually modifies the verb ‘parked’. So, the phrase ‘beside the shop’ is also an adverbial phrase.
