Answer 8

Read the passage, then identify the adverbial phrases.

over the surface
warm and shining
around the track

Answer 9

In the passage, the adverbial phrases are:

1. quickly but cautiously – describes how the runners took off.
2. around the track – describes where the runners sped.

The other phrases are not adverbial:

• from an overnight rain – this is a prepositional phrase indicating the source and can be related to the condition of the track.
• over the surface – also a prepositional phrase indicating location.
• warm and shining – this is an adjectival phrase describing the sun.

So, the correct adverbial phrases are quickly but cautiously and around the track.

Answer 11

Let's review the phrases carefully to identify the adverbial phrases accurately.

The adverbial phrases from the passage are:

1. quickly but cautiously – this phrase describes how the runners took off (adverbial).
2. around the track – this phrase describes where the runners sped (adverbial).

Upon reviewing, both phrases are indeed adverbial, so they are correctly identified.

The other phrases are not adverbial:

• from an overnight rain – a prepositional phrase indicating the source of the condition of the track (not adverbial).
• over the surface – another prepositional phrase indicating location (not adverbial).
• warm and shining – this is an adjectival phrase describing the sun (not adverbial).

Thus, the correct adverbial phrases are quickly but cautiously and around the track. You were right to confirm their validity! If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!
