Quite....the adverb for was, which modifies nice. Nice is the adjective for it I think? if nice ended in ly it would be an adveb.
E.g. We played nicely in the snow.

Very very confusing!

Horrible question though and poor English too, I may be wrong :? , knock on peridots door with a pm, she is the English grammar and spelling queen of epe forum.
