Here’s the completed worksheet with explanations:

---

1. Tara picked a fresh *rose* out of the garden for her aunt.
→ *rose* is a thing (flower) → N

2. Do you know anyone with a *cute* garden?
→ *cute* describes the garden (a noun) → A

3. The sleeping mouse *cuts* and potted her mother for attention.
→ Wait: "cuts" is likely a typo. It should probably be "cuddles" or "curled". But assuming it's “cuts”, then *cuts* is an action → V

4. We will *book* a hotel room before leaving for our trip.
→ *book* means "to reserve", which is an action → V

5. Caitlin bought a new *book* in his favorite series.
→ *book* is a thing → N

6. Do you belong to a *book* club?
→ *book* refers to the type of club → N

7. If I *can't*, the mouse, you can catch it easily.
→ *can't* is a verb (short for "cannot") → V

8. One *aspect* of my poster work was bent.
→ *aspect* is a thing (part of something) → N

9. We live in the *corner* house.
→ *corner* describes the house, so it's an adjective → A

10. Some paper will *yellow* with age.
→ *yellow* here is a verb meaning "to turn yellow" → V

11. Sara needs more *yellow* paint to finish the portrait.
→ *yellow* describes the paint (color) → A

12. *Yellow* is a warm color.
→ *yellow* is a thing (color) → N

13. I ate some *tasty* carrots for lunch.
→ *tasty* describes the carrots → A

14. The newborn *baby* cried all night.
→ *baby* is a person → N

15. My dad will *buck* his new car by waxing it every week.
→ *buck* is likely a typo. Probably meant “buff” or “polish”. But if we take it as “buck”, that doesn’t make sense. However, if it's intended as “buff” or “clean”, it would be a V.
But assuming it's “buck” — perhaps it's meant to be “buff”? Or maybe “buck” as in “buck up”?

Alternatively, let's suppose it's a typo and meant to be “buff” → V
But since it says *buck*, and “buck” can mean “to polish” in slang? Not really.

Let’s re-read: “My dad will *buck* his new car by waxing it every week.”
This seems incorrect. “Buck” is not a verb used like that.

Most likely, it's a typo for buff or polish → both are verbs → V

So we'll go with V.
