Answer 2

To determine the adverbs and adjectives in the paragraph, we need to remember their definitions and characteristics.

Adverbs: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by telling us how, when, where, why, or to what extent an action or description occurs. They often end in -ly.

Adjectives: Adjectives modify nouns by describing or providing additional information about them. They answer questions like what kind, which one, how many, or how much.

Let's analyze the paragraph for adverbs and adjectives:

1. Good/bad: These are both adjectives as they describe the quality of the experience.
2. A few years ago: Here, "ago" is an adverb indicating the timeframe of the experience.
3. Really: This is an adverb intensifying the verb "taught."
4. Everyone: This is an adjective describing the noun "representative."
5. Cell phone: "Cell" is an adjective describing the noun "phone."
6. My: This is an adjective indicating possession before the noun "application."
7. A few days later: Similarly, "later" is an adverb describing the timeframe of the phone's arrival.
8. My first: Both "my" and "first" are adjectives describing the noun "cell phone."
9. Only: This is an adverb indicating the limited usage of the phone.
10. False: This is an adjective describing the noun "information."
11. No: This is an adjective negating the nouns "contract," "credit check," and "deposit."
12. Outstanding: This is an adjective describing the noun "balance."
13. Negative: This is an adjective describing the noun "status."
14. Eventually: This is an adverb indicating a future timeframe.
15. Really: This is an adverb emphasizing the cautionary attitude.

In summary, the adverbs in the paragraph are "ago," "really," "later," "only," and "eventually." The adjectives are "good," "bad," "everyone," "cell," "my," "first," "false," "no," "outstanding," "negative," and "really."
