In Australia smoking inside a building is prohibited. When I went to Melbourne last

year with the BRIDGE participants we stayed at a new apartment building in the city. After a
few days, Bonnie, who was in charge of the BRIDGE participants in Melbourne, came to the
apartment. To her surprise when she walked along the corridor she smelled Indonesian kretek
cigarettes.

The next day during tea break Bonnie announced to the participants that smoking is
prohibited in hotels and apartments. If anyone is caught breaking this law they could be fined
AUD$250 – that’s about 2 juta rupiah! All the participants just stayed silent. Someone said,
“Wow, Mbak Bonnie you have got a strong nose.” Bonnie said that her husband is Indonesian
and she lives in Indonesia so she’s familiar of the smell of kretek cigarettes. After that day
there were no more kretek smells along the corridor anymore.

B. Please analyze what kind of adverb that are used in the text!
