Are "canceled," "obligatory," and "specific" adjectives (or adverbs)?

Hello. I recently started reading a book called “Essential Words for the TOEIC” and, in Lesson 1, they wrote that “canceled,” “obligatory,” and “specific” are adverbs. I believe they all are adjectives, with “canceled” being past participle used as an adjective. I already looked them up in dictionaries but I also need some human answers. Thank you.

prarng they wrote that “canceled,” “obligatory,” and “specific” are adverbs. As you have already pointed out, this is not correct. Your view of them is correct.
