About is the adverb in the sentence.

  • An adverb is used to offer us more information about the verb or the action in the sentence, similar to how an adjective provides us more information about the noun in a sentence. It also has the ability to describe another adverb or an adjective.
  • An adverb is defined as "a word that adds more information about place, time, manner, cause, or degree to a verb, an adjective, a phrase, or another adverb" by the Oxford Learner's Dictionary. An adverb is described as "a word that describes or gives more information about a verb, adjective, adverb, or phrase" by the Cambridge Dictionary.
  • An equivalent definition can be found in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Adverbs are described as "words used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs and generally employed to convey degree, manner, place, or time" in the definition. The Collins Dictionary defines an adverb as "a term that provides information about the action, event, or condition stated in a clause," such as "slowly," "now," "extremely," "politically," or "fortunately."

Here, according to the given information, we are given that,
