Question

Identify the adjectives and adverbs in the paragragraph below:
The biggest robbery in British history took place on 26 November 1983 when six men broke into the Brink’s – MAT warehouse at Heathrow Airports, London. They stole pound 3 million in cash and three tones of gold bullion, worth around 26 million pounds. The armed robbers poured petrol over the terrified security guards and threatened to set them alight. The British police pursued the gang tirelessly, and in 1984 Brian Robin son and gang leader Micheal Mc Avoy were caught and found guilty of armed robbery, receiving sentences of 25years in prison. However the other members of the gang are still at large, and the bulk of the gold has never been found.
