Let’s go through each sentence, identify the key parts of speech, and label them accordingly. I'll explain each choice.
---
- Grandma – *Noun* (person)
- rolled – *Verb* (action)
- happily – *Adverb* (modifies "rolled")

✔ Answer:
- Grandma → Noun

⚠️ This sentence appears to have a typo:
"scrambled the trip a her diary" → likely meant to be:
"scrambled the trip in her diary" or "recorded the trip in her diary".
Assuming it's supposed to be:
"The girl scrambled the trip in her diary"
But “scrambled” doesn’t fit well with “trip”.
Alternatively, maybe it was meant to be:
"The girl recorded the trip in her diary" — which matches sentence #5.
But if we take it literally:
- girl – *Noun*
- scrambled – *Verb*
- trip – *Noun*
- in – *Preposition* (not a part of speech asked)
- her – *Adjective*
- diary – *Noun*
But "a" is incorrect — should be "in".
So possibly a typo: "The girl scrambled the trip in her diary."
✔ Answer (assuming typo corrected):
- girl → Noun
- scrambled → Verb
- trip → Noun
- her → Adjective
- diary → Noun
---
- Andy – *Noun*
- girl – *Noun*
- looked – *Verb*
- eagerly – *Adverb*

- shore – *Noun*
✔ Answer:
- Andy → Noun
- girl → Noun
- looked → Verb
- eagerly → Adverb
- creatures → Noun
- shore → Noun
---
- Grandma – *Noun*
- girl – *Noun*
- jumped – *Verb*
- quickly – *Adverb*
- boat – *Noun*
✔ Answer:
- Grandma → Noun
- girl → Noun
- jumped → Verb
- quickly → Adverb
- boat → Noun
---
- girl – *Noun*
- saw – *Verb*
- creature – *Noun*
- slowly – *Adverb*
- mask – *Noun*
- rose – *Adjective* (describes "mask", e.g., "rose-colored"?)
✔ Answer:
- girl → Noun
- saw → Verb
- creature → Noun
- slowly → Adverb
- mask → Noun
- rose → Adjective
---
- She – *Noun* (pronoun)
- leaned – *Verb*
- carefully – *Adverb*
- yellow – *Adjective* (describes "fish")
- fish – *Noun*
✔ Answer:
- She → Noun
- leaned → Verb
- carefully → Adverb
- yellow → Adjective
- fish → Noun
---
- Carefully – *Adverb* (starts sentence, modifies "surrounded")
- sea lizard – *Noun* (compound noun)
- surrounded – *Verb*
- grandma – *Noun*
- girl – *Noun*
✔ Answer:
- Carefully → Adverb
- sea lizard → Noun
- surrounded → Verb
- grandma → Noun
- girl → Noun
---
- lions – *Noun*
- chased – *Verb*
- nipped – *Verb*
- one another – *Pronoun* → Noun (refers to lions)
