Explanation:

Question 1 (Labeling words):

1. Brief Explanations: "Both" here describes the sweaters, acting as an adjective (or a pronoun? Wait, in "Both sweaters", "both" is an adjective modifying "sweaters". Wait, actually, "both" can be a pronoun or adjective. But in this context, as it's before a noun, it's an adjective (or a determiner, but for this exercise, we'll go with adjective as per common school grammar). Wait, no, let's recheck:

• 1. "Both" in "Both sweaters" is an adjective (modifying the noun "sweaters") → adjective
• 2. "cowboy" in "cowboy boots" is an adjective (modifying "boots") → adjective
• 3. "Both" in "Both of the twins" is a pronoun (as it's the subject of the phrase "both of the twins") → Wait, no, "both" here is a pronoun (referring to the two twins). Wait, the exercise says "adjective/pronoun or noun". So:
• 1. "Both" (adjective, modifying "sweaters")
• 2. "cowboy" (adjective, modifying "boots")
• 3. "Both" (pronoun, as it's a pronoun referring to the twins)
• 4. "Which" (pronoun, as it's asking for a specific route)
• 5. "Several" (adjective, modifying "states")
• 6. "dolphin" (adjective, modifying "trainer")
• 7. "cowboy" (noun, as it's the object of the preposition "as a")
• 8. "this" (pronoun, referring to the thing Sandy paid for)
• 9. "several" (pronoun, referring to the daisies)
• 10. "winter" (adjective, modifying "recess")
• 11. "dolphin" (noun, as it's the subject)
• 12. "What" (pronoun, asking for a name)
• 13. "This" (adjective, modifying "time")
• 14. "Some" (pronoun, referring to the snakes)
• 15. "winter" (noun, as it's the object of the preposition "during")

But let's correct with proper grammar:

• 1. Both: Adjective (modifies "sweaters")
• 2. cowboy: Adjective (modifies "boots")
• 3. Both: Pronoun (refers to the twins)
• 4. Which: Pronoun (asks for a specific route)
• 5. Several: Adjective (modifies "states")
• 6. dolphin: Adjective (modifies "trainer")
• 7. cowboy: Noun (refers to a person who is a cowboy)
• 8. this: Pronoun (refers to the item)
• 9. several: Pronoun (refers to the daisies)
• 10. winter: Adjective (modifies "recess")
• 11. dolphin: Noun (refers to the animal)
• 12. What: Pronoun (asks for a name)
• 13. This: Adjective (modifies "time")
• 14. Some: Pronoun (refers to the snakes)
• 15. winter: Noun (refers to the season)
