Explanation: In these sentences, we need to change the adjectives to adverbs to describe the verbs or actions. Adjectives describe nouns, while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. To change an adjective to an adverb, we usually add "-ly" to the adjective form. However, there are some exceptions where the adverb form is the same as the adjective form.

1. The adjective "terrible" becomes the adverb "terribly" to describe the verb "wrong." 2. The adjective "high" becomes the adverb "highly" to describe the verb "spoke." 3. The adjective "comfortable" becomes the adverb "comfortably" to describe the verb "sitting." 4. The adjective "beautiful" becomes the adverb "beautifully" to describe the verb "move." 5. The adjective "absolute" becomes the adverb "absolutely" to emphasize the negation of the verb "ordered." 6. The adjective "hopeful" becomes the adverb "hopefully" to describe the verb "is."

By using adverbs, we provide more information about the manner or degree of the action being described.
