(A) Don’t talk so loud
(B) He lives in the next house
(C) He is quick to take offence
(D) The night is dark
The answer is (A) Don’t talk so loud.
Let’s analyze the options:
- (A) Don’t talk so loud: “Loud” is an adverb describing the manner of talking.
- (B) He lives in the next house: “Next” describes the location of the house, but it’s not an adverb.
- (C) He is quick to take offence: “Quick” is an adverb describing how fast he takes offense.
- (D) The night is dark: “Dark” describes the night, but it’s an adjective, not an adverb.
Therefore, sentence (A) is the only one that uses an adverb.
