Answer» Explanation:ANSWER An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, MODIFY the verb. Thus, it is easy to rewrite a phrase as an adverb and vice versa while still retaining the meaning of the sentence. Option A is correct. While the adverb phrase "in a POLITE MANNER" modifies the verb "spoke", it also retains the meaning of the original sentence - that the subject spoke "politely". Options B and D are incorrect. While they do contain adverb phrases. the meaning of the original sentence has been changed by adding new words. The phrase "in a slow manner" does not mean that he was polite, nor does speaking in a "heavy American accent".Option C is incorrect as it does not contain an adverb phrase. The adverb "politely" has instead been replaced by a noun phrase that acts as the object of the sentence. Answered ByHEMALATHAJOHIMANI
