My comment does not affect the validity of the example given in section 7.2.5.7. "Finding all Adverbs and their Positions", but its misleading title.

The reason is that none all adverbs end on "ly" (e.g. well, fast, slow, tight) and not all words ending on "ly" are adverbs (e.g. bully, friendly, Italy, apply, supply), or there are words whose type depends on situation (e.g. ugly)

I don't think the subject wants to be universally true, so it won't present a regex to find all the possible adverbs in any sentence, but it juts wants to show how to find the adverbs in the sentence: "He was carefully disguised but captured quickly by police." which of course is crafted ad hoc to have adverbs ending in 'ly'.
