What part of speech is carefully and easily?

"Carefully" and "easily" are both adverbs.

Here's why:

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

* They answer questions like "how," "when," "where," or "to what extent."

Let's see them in action:

* Carefully: "He walked carefully across the icy bridge." (modifies the verb "walked")

* Easily: "She could easily lift the heavy box." (modifies the verb "lift")

Therefore, "carefully" and "easily" describe the manner in which actions are performed, making them adverbs.
