Part 1: Select the word in each sentence which shows the Part of Speech in the box next to the sentence.

We are given a part of speech and need to identify the correct word in the sentence that matches it.

| Part of Speech | Sentence | Answer |
|----------------|---------|--------|
| Eg. Preposition | The bandit was placed in his cell. | in ✔ (already done) |
| 1. Conjunction | We should walk quickly before it starts to rain. | before |
| 2. Adverb | We seldom visit them. | seldom |
| 3. Adjective | He bought a few mangoes for his family. | few |
| 4. Preposition | Sapphire wanted to see what was under the Christmas tree. | under |
| 5. Verb | The swimmers swam along the coast. | swam |
| 6. Conjunction | K’sun could not leave so he sat on a chair and waited. | so |
| 7. Noun | Our team won the game by a landslide. | landslide |
| 8. Pronoun | I am not pleased with your performance. | I or your (but "I" is the subject pronoun; "your" is possessive) → best answer: I |
| 9. Preposition | The boy is standing between the chairs. | between |

✔ Explanation for each:

1. Conjunction: *before* connects two clauses ("we should walk..." and "it starts to rain").
2. Adverb: *seldom* modifies the verb "visit" — tells how often.
3. Adjective: *few* describes the noun "mangoes" — tells how many.
4. Preposition: *under* shows location — relates "what" to "Christmas tree".
5. Verb: *swam* is the action performed by the swimmers.
6. Conjunction: *so* connects two related ideas — cause and effect.
7. Noun: *landslide* is a thing (a large win).
8. Pronoun: *I* replaces a person's name (the speaker).
9. Preposition: *between* shows relationship between "boy" and "chairs".
