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.
