D
Yes, you are correct. Good job!
Oh, the children were really excited, like a squirrel on a cupcake, and they jumped up and down noisily, like a herd of elephants doing a tap dance routine! So, the correct answer is d) really/noisily. They were super pumped and couldn't contain their enthusiasm!
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the difference between the adverbs "real" and "really" and how they modify the adjective "excited" and the verb "jumped."
"Real" is commonly used as an adjective, meaning "true" or "genuine." In this context, "real" does not accurately describe the level of excitement of the children, so option A and C, in which "real" is paired with "excited" or "noisy," are incorrect.
On the other hand, "really" is an adverb that is used to intensify an adjective or an adverb. It is the correct choice to modify "excited" because it expresses a higher level of excitement. Additionally, "really" should modify the verb "jumped," as it describes how the children jumped.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: "really/noisily." The children were really excited when they heard they made the team, and they jumped up and down noisily.
