Are they correct? I know I may have a lot wrong.

Please and thank you for responding. Really appreciate this. And sorry for all asking so much.

Answer 1

Your answers are right -- except for:

5. "noisily" modifies the verb "gobbled"

7. "very" modifies the adjective "clouded"

10. "excessively" modifies the adjective "expensive"

Answer 2

Re-think #s 5 and 7.

#10 is like #3.
