Text, Questions & Answers

In the town of Verbville, lived a smart detective named Adverb Andy. He moved quickly, thought carefully, and talked softly. One day, the town's golden verb trophy mysteriously vanished. Andy was called immediately to solve the case. Observing the scene, he remarked, "The thief moved silently to avoid waking the guards. Then, he swiftly climbed the tall tower to reach the trophy."
