Ok. I need to find 25 adverbs in the following paragraphs. I really can't figure this out!
Although people often say that bread is the staff of life, few know much about bread, except that it can be easily purchased in the grocery store. Nobody knows exactly when the first seed of grasses were ground, mixed with water, and baked into bread; but remains of the Swiss Lake Dwellers positively prove that people already were baking bread in prehistoric times. Egyptian art clearly depicts the planting, harvesting, and baking of grain. Somehow the Egyptians discovered that allowing wheat dough to ferment produced an unusually light loaf, and they soon learned to build ovens in which they could cook the bread. Flat breads, which are usually made from barley, oats, or rye, were the fare of the common people in the European world until the seventeenth century. White bread was extremely expensive and was rarely eaten, except by the nobility. Although acorn cakes are still eaten in certain areas of the world, we do not ordinarily consider crushed acorns as the ideal ingredient for bread. Until improvements in the methods of milling flour were made, it was almost impossible to obtain the fine grade of flour which is mainly used in the white bread we now eat. The early baker diligently ground the grain by hand, but the resulting flour was fairly course and produced an extremely dark and rough loaf. Early stone mills, which were powered by donkeys or water, seldom produced anything but a gritty flour, finely ground wheat became a reality only recently when steel rollers made a fine grinding possible.
Thanks. I really need help with this!
