Identify the sentence where the word "down" is used as an adverb.
A. Just as she was standing to give her presentation, Ashlee fell down.
B. The ball moved down the street towards the intersection.
C. Gail fell down the steps because she tripped on her untied shoelace.
D. Ricky rolled down the car window to place his order at the coffee shop.
Answer (2)
All of these sentences, especially " C. Gail fell down the steps because she tripped on her untied shoelace" use the word "down" as an adverb since they all use "down" to describe the direction of the fall.
The word "down" is used as an adverb in option B: The ball moved down the street towards the intersection. In this sentence, "down" modifies the verb "moved", indicating the direction of the movement. Both options B and D use "down" as an adverb, but option B is the most clear example for this context.
