Well frankly, this seems to be a rather pointless exercise as it stands; however, I have corrected your sentences where necessary. The adverbs, where they exist, seem OK.


Scientists have found that men are not as sensitive to tastes and smells as women.

The part of the brain that controls action is not so/as developed in women as (it is) in men.

There are no adverbs in the following set:
"In general, women are smaller and lighter than men."
In general, men are bigger and heavier than women.
In general, women are not as big and heavy as men.

Studies have shown that women make decisions less quickly than men.

Studies have shown that men do not change their minds as often as women (do).

Women's muscles do not work as efficiently as men's muscles (do).

"In general, women eat more healthily than men."
In general, men eat less healthily than women.
In general, men do not eat as healthily as women (do).

Experts say that male managers do not ask for advice as frequently as male managers (do).
