Answer:

The best modification for the modifier in sentence 5 is to substitute bad for badly.

Explanation:

The adjective bad should replace the adverb badly because feel acts as a copulative verb. A copulative verb describes a state rather than action, connecting the subject with an adjective or another noun. All verbs related to the five senses serve as linking verbs: taste, look, sound, feel, and smell. Thus, the revised sentence reads: She felt bad that someone had lost such a nice watch.

 The most appropriate revision of the modifier "badly" in sentence 5 is "bad": She felt bad that someone had lost such a nice watch. The term badly is an adverb, which modifies verbs and other words: badly constructed furniture; she was treated very badly. In this revised sentence, the word bad  functions as an adjective after a linking verb "felt."

Al cambiar la perspectiva, la narrativa de una historia se transforma por completo. La mente del personaje, sus motivaciones y su percepción del entorno no estarán claras, como sucede en una narración en primera persona donde el personaje cuenta su propia historia. Si se narrara desde la perspectiva de otro personaje, no conocerías la verdad detrás de lo que ocurre en la historia.
