Directions: Insert the correct Adverbial Phrase in the blank space:
Only ______ is there a rumble in the sky.
- Aoccasionally
- Bswiftly
- Cquite
- Dmerrily
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The word 'occasionally' means sometimes but not often. Combined with the restrictive modifier 'Only', "Only occasionally" acts as a negative/restrictive frequency phrase which sets up the inversion of the subject and verb ("is there a rumble").
