Solution

The three adverbs in the sentence are "too", "softly", and "not".

  1. "Too" is an adverb that is used to modify an adjective or another adverb, indicating a higher degree than is desirable, necessary, or allowed. In this sentence, "too" is used to modify "softly" to express that the governor spoke in a way that was excessively soft.

  2. "Softly" is an adverb that describes the manner in which the governor spoke. It modifies the verb "spoke" and tells us how the action was performed.

  3. "Not" is an adverb of negation or denial. It is used to modify the verb "could understand" to express the inability to understand the governor's speech.
