Answer:

Exercise 1: Identifying Action and Linking Verbs

To solve this, we analyze each sentence to determine if the verb shows an action (Action Verb) or connects the subject to a description (Linking Verb).

1. Mary Queen acclain famously proud.

• Verb: acclaim (action) or proud? Wait, likely a typo (maybe acclaimed or is? Assuming the main verb is related to linking. Wait, correct approach: Linking verbs connect subject to adjective/ noun. proud is adjective, so the verb (maybe was? But given the sentence, likely the main verb is a linking verb. Wait, maybe the sentence is Mary Queen was famously proud. But as per the given, underline the main verb and write A (Action) or L (Linking). Let's assume the verb here (maybe a typo, but if we take the structure, if the verb connects to proud (adjective), it's a linking verb. But maybe the correct verb is is or was, but given the exercise, let's proceed. Wait, maybe the original is Mary Queen seemed famously proud? No, the user's image: Let's re-express.

Wait, the example: The cake smells nice. We have action? No, smells is linking (connects cake to nice). Wait, the first exercise example: The cake smells nice. We have action? No, smells is linking. Wait, the first exercise's example: The cake smells nice. We have action? No, smells (linking, as it describes the cake). Wait, the user's first exercise sentence 1: Mary Queen acclain famously proud. Likely a typo (acclaim → acclaimed, or was). Assuming the main verb is a linking verb (connecting to proud), so L. But maybe the correct verb is is or was*, so L.

But maybe better to correct the typos and solve:

1. Mary Queen was famously proud. (Linking: connects Mary Queen to proud) → L
2. In the morning, the fog felt (no, felt is linking? Wait, felt as in “the fog felt cold” is linking. But the sentence: In the morning the fog felt. No, maybe fell (action: fog fell). Wait, typo: fell (action) → A
3. At fault, William lay (action: lay down) → A (or linking? lay as in “lay still” – no, lay is action. Wait, lay can be linking? No, lie (linking: “lie still”) but lay is action (place). So if lay (action) → A
4. Trenton is the capital of New Jersey. (Linking: connects Trenton to capital) → L
5. In a short time, my sister grew tall. (Linking: grew as in “became tall” – linking) → L
6. After a year, Grant became our captain. (Linking: became connects Grant to captain) → L
7. The singers marched into the velvet bag. (Action: marched) → A
8. Unfortunately, the speaker was late. (Linking: connects speaker to late) → L
9. My grandfather looks older these days. (Linking: looks connects grandfather to older) → L
10. Unnoticed, we slipped out the door. (Action: slipped) → A

But due to typos in the original image, the above is a best-effort solution based on standard linking verb usage.

For Exercise 1 (Identifying A/L):

1. Mary Queen was (L) famously proud.
2. In the morning, the fog fell (A) (assuming typo for fell).
3. At fault, William lay (A) (action of lying down).
4. Trenton is (L) the capital of New Jersey.
5. In a short time, my sister grew (L) tall.
6. After a year, Grant became (L) our captain.
7. The singers marched (A) into the velvet bag.
8. Unfortunately, the speaker was (L) late.
9. My grandfather looks (L) older these days.
10. Unnoticed, we slipped (A) out the door.

Note:

The typos in the original sentences (e.g., acclain, felt/fell, lay/laid) were addressed by assuming common English structures. Linking verbs (L) connect the subject to an adjective or noun (describing the subject), while action verbs (A) show a physical or mental action.
