Instructions Recap:

- Noun: A person, place, thing, or idea.
- Verb: A word that shows an action.
- Adjective: A word that describes a noun.

Now let’s go through each sentence:

---

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

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

3. The sleeping *cat* cuts *and* patted her mother for attention.
- Wait — “cat” is a noun (animal), but “cuts” and “patted” are verbs. But only one word is underlined: “cat”.
→ N

4. We will *book* a hotel room before leaving for our trip.
- “book” here means to reserve — it's an action.
→ V

5. Caitlin bought a new *book* in his favorite series.
- “book” is a thing (a physical object).
→ N

6. Do you belong to a *local* club?
- “local” describes the club (what kind of club).
→ A

7. If I *cannot*, the mouse, you can catch it easily.
- “cannot” = "can not", which is a verb (meaning "am unable to").
→ V

8. One *aspect* of my poster work was bent.
- “aspect” is a thing (a part or feature).
→ N

9. We live in the *carnival* house.
- “carnival” describes the type of house — it's not a verb or adjective here; it's a noun used as an adjective? Wait — actually, “carnival” is being used as a noun modifying "house" (like "carnival-themed"?). But grammatically, it's functioning as an adjective here because it modifies "house". However, strictly speaking, "carnival" is a noun, but in this context, it's used adjectivally. But since we’re identifying the part of speech of the word itself, and it's acting as a modifier, we consider it A.
→ A

10. Some paper will *yellow* with age.
- “yellow” is a verb here — meaning "to turn yellow". It's an action.
→ 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 the subject — it's a noun (the color).
→ N

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

14. The newborn *baby* cried all night.
