Explanation for Part 1:

1. Conjunction: "before" connects two clauses — "We should walk quickly" and "it starts to rain."
→ It shows a time relationship.

2. Adverb: "seldom" modifies the verb "visit" — it tells *how often* they visit.
→ Describes frequency.

3. Adjective: "few" describes the noun "mangoes" — how many?
→ Modifies a noun.

4. Preposition: "under" shows location — where was it? Under the tree.
→ Relates the noun "what" to "Christmas tree."

5. Verb: "swam" is the action performed by "the swimmers."
→ Action word.

6. Conjunction: "so" joins two independent clauses: "K’sun could not leave" and "he sat on a chair and waited."
→ Shows cause and effect.

7. Noun: "landslide" is a thing (a large victory), used as an object of the preposition "by."
→ A thing or idea.

8. Pronoun: "your" is a possessive pronoun replacing a noun like "your performance."
→ Substitutes for a noun.

9. Preposition: "between" shows the relationship of position — the boy is located between two chairs.
→ Relates the boy to the chairs.

Part 2: Select the Part of Speech underlined in each sentence.

Now, we identify the part of speech of the underlined word.

> Example: The van drove to Port-of-Spain. → Verb

Let’s go through each:

1. We reached early but all the seats were filled.
→ but = Conjunction (connects two clauses)

2. The man took a trip to Canada.
→ trip = Noun (a thing, an event)

3. Did you trip on that piece of rope?
→ trip = Verb (action – to stumble)

4. The boys walked with each other.
→ with = Preposition (shows relationship: walking together)

5. My heart skipped a million beats.
→ million = Noun (a number, but here it’s a noun meaning "a large quantity")

6. They arrived early for the show.
→ early = Adverb (modifies the verb "arrived" — when?)

7. Marcus didn't believe that she could lift the safe.
→ she = Pronoun (replaces a person's name)

8. After we won the game, we partied all night.
→ after = Conjunction (subordinating conjunction — introduces a dependent clause)
