Question

1. which part of speech is the bold word in the sentence below?

we believed brian would win first place in the science fair due to his logical mind.

adverb

adjective

verb

noun

Explanation:

To determine the part of speech of "logical", we analyze its function. "Logical" describes the noun "mind", which is the role of an adjective (words that modify nouns). An adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs; a verb shows action or state; a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. Since "logical" modifies "mind", it is an adjective.

Answer:

B. adjective
