The sentence that demonstrates correct placement of an adverb modifying an adjective is: "The redwood tree was incredibly tall."
To identify the correct placement of an adverb modifying an adjective, you need to understand the role of adverbs and adjectives in a sentence. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs and provide information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. Adjectives, on the other hand, describe or modify nouns.
In the given options, we are looking for an adverb that modifies an adjective. Among the options provided, only the first sentence uses an adverb ("incredibly") to modify the adjective "tall." The adverb "incredibly" provides additional information about the degree or extent to which the redwood tree is tall.
The other options either use the adverb to modify a verb ("Never, the lost driver checked the map") or use the adverb to modify a verb instead of an adjective ("The energetic dog very barked"). These examples do not demonstrate the correct placement of an adverb modifying an adjective.
