Question

In the following sentence, which word is an adverb used to modify an adjective? It was quite late for a telephone call.

A. telephone
B. for
C. quite
D. late

Answer 1

C. Quite.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got home quite late modifies the word late.

Answer 2

Among your options, only the word quite is an adverb, so the correct answer is C. quite.
Telephone is a noun, for is a preposition, and late is an adjective. The adverb quite is used to modify the adjective late, in order to make it more emphasized. So it wasn't only late for a telephone call, but it was quite late, or very late.
