Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer the questions:

#color(red)"How"#:
#># softly, loudly, gracefully, well, fast

#color(orange)"Where"#:
#># outside, above, far, indoors, there, abroad

#color(green)"When"#:
#>#soon, tomorrow, then, today, already

#color(blue)"How much"#:
#># fairly, too, extremely, just, very

#color(purple)"How often"#:
#># never, rarely, often, seldom, frequently

In your sentence I think it would be beneficial to add a #color(red)"how"# adverb in the sentence to describe how he yelled:

#color(red)"Desperately"#, he cried out for help when he got stuck in the revolving door.
He cried out #color(red)"loudly"# for help when he got stuck in the revolving door.
