The adverb(s) and/or adverb phrase(s) in the sentence is/are _____.

(A) in a red dress only
(B) cautiously only
(C) both in a red dress and cautiously

Answer 1

Answer:

Cautiously.

Explanation:

Cautiously is an adverb (base adjective cautious with -ly ending) modifying 'danced'  (telling how she danced).

"In a red dress" is a prepositional phrase. Some prepositional phrases can be adverb phrases, but in this sentence this prepositional phrase is an adjective phrase. It helps describe and identify the noun, 'girl.'
