1 Adverb. It's been answered before - I think the parsing was Advert, commercial,becomes Adverb (making final billion = put a B at the end). 'Really' is an adverb.

3d. The parsing definitely looks like (marke)T PURE reversed/up but can anyone help with the definition - why are 'broker' and 'erupt' connected?

I have struggled to satisfy myself with a good parse - yes the 'might' of a volcano 'breaks' the crust of the Earth - but does that make it a 'Broker'?

I gave up trying.
