The adverb intensifier in the sentence is "very."

The adverb intensifier in the sentence is "very." To determine the adverb intensifier, you need to identify the adverb in the sentence that is modifying or intensifying another word (usually a verb or adjective). In this case, the adverb "very" is intensifying the adverb "carefully." To find it, you can recognize that "very" is modifying the word "carefully" by enhancing the degree of carefulness in which the Language Arts teacher graded the tests.
