Answer 2

In the sentence, "I always participated, of course, because as children we must experience all of those things. And I studied hard in school, as you do, Jonas."

The word 'hard' is used as an adverb. Adverbs are the words which qualify or modifies the verb or adjectives. Herein it modifies the verb 'study' which refers to with a lot of mental effort. 'Hard' as an adverb refers to the something which is hard-won and earned and with lots of efforts, something is achieved.

Therefore, the sentence in which word 'hard' means the same to the sentence above is,

"Sophie works hard to remain a top student in her class."

Herein, the adverb 'hard' modifies the verb 'work.'

Whereas, in the other sentence word 'hard' is used as an adjective.
