 A1 and B1 are correct

Search

for

"deeply religious"

"deep religious"

(quotation marks are important)

in order to get frequencies and examples.

Hello,

A1)deep insight  - Ok

A2)deeply insight - Adverb can not modify nouns. Ok to say "She is deeply insightful about the subjuect of global warming "

B1)deeply religious -Ok  When one is deeply religious, he is supposed to follow the 10 commandments and go to Sunday church service.  

B2)deep religious - not good!



thx...
