It is quite difficult to find a text with lots of adverbs in it. The
adverb is the least frequent and most optional, grammatically, of the

Now the party was noisily in full swing. Many
students were singing raucously. Others lurched
drunkenly here and there.

the door creaked open, and a gigantically large
slug oozed lubriciously into the room, greedily,
and gratefully, engulfing undergraduates as it
tried to join in the disappearing fun.
