Who is correct?

The correct answer is Pretentiously is an adverb

I just took it.

To determine the meaning of the suffix -ly in the word "pretentiously," we need to consider how the word is functioning in the sentence. In this case, "pretentiously" is describing how something is being done. This indicates that it is modifying a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

To determine which of these possibilities it is, we can examine the options given.

Option 1: "Pretentiously is an adjective."
This option suggests that "pretentiously" is describing a noun. However, in the given example, "pretentiously" is not describing a noun, but rather describing how something is done. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 2: "Pretentiously is an adverb."
This option suggests that "pretentiously" is describing a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Given that "pretentiously" is describing how something is being done in the sentence, it is functioning as an adverb modifying the verb. Therefore, this option is correct.

Option 3: "Pretentiously is a verb."
This option suggests that "pretentiously" is a verb. However, "pretentiously" is not a verb itself, but rather an adverb modifying a verb. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option 4: "Pretentiously is a gerund."
A gerund is a verb form that functions as a noun. However, "pretentiously" is not functioning as a noun in the given example but as an adverb modifying a verb. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

So, the correct answer is:
Pretentiously is an adverb.

The answer is actually adjective
