To determine whether the underlined word in each sentence is an
adverb or a
preposition, we need to understand the function of the word in the sentence:
1.
Adverb: An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It often answers questions like "how," "when," "where," or "to what extent."
2.
Preposition: A preposition shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and some other word in the sentence. It often indicates location, direction, time, or manner.
