Answer 1

During the summer, the activist moved from town to town.

Step-by-step explanation:

The underlined group of words, in the correct sentence functions as an adverb: During the summer, the activist moved from town to town. This phrase qualifies the verb moved. The sentence still makes sense if we replace the phrase with an adverb, such as the word randomly.
