Which word best describes a characteristic of postmodernism?

b. despite her​ inexperience, helen did surprisingly well in the gymnastic competition. this is the correct answer. " well" functions generally as an adverb, so here it refers to the way   helen " did" or   performed in the competition. "well" is attached to the verb "did".

these sentences are wrong.

a. i feel well about starting my new classes this semester.   the correct version would be: " to feel good about..". this means happy. "to feel well" means to be in goog health. in this case, "well" functions as an adjective and it means healthy.

c. justin has a great sense of humor and can tell a joke really good. " well" should have been used instead of good. "..can tell a joke really well..". well would tell the manner in which justin told the joke.

d. that tie looks well with your shirt. "good" should have been used instead of " well". " looks good.." sense verbs are followed by adjectives. to look good is the same as to be good.
