If you are correct, then why do you need to keep snipping your own
quotation? Huh?
Here it is again.
"How shameful that the commission's attack dogs hold their sacrifices so
cheaply."

"Cheaply", in your quotation, is qualifying the verb "hold". As such, it
it
obviously an adverb.

If you wish to disagree with me, then you should confine your comments to
the actual quotation that we are discussing. Your attempts to bring in
other
examples are, patently pathetic, efforts to divert attention from your
initial error.

Sorry, Donal. You're just wrong on this one, and Jefferson was right. Try
the exactly parallel construction: "We hold these truths self-evidently"?
I
don't think so. "We hold these truths self-evident." Better? I think so.
