I could not hear the________part of speech.
a) later b) latter
c) latest d) last

Answer 1

Answer:

b. latter......................

Answer 2

I could not hear the___Latter _____part of speech.

Explanation:

The word latter is really a form of later meaning "more recent" or "that which came after.

Latter can denote the second, out of two choices, or near the end part of something, as opposed to the beginning.

“I chose the latter.” it  sounds like the chosen subject was out of two choices. The second is chosen. You wouldn’t not  use ‘latter’ in reference to anything that isn’t able to be split into two parts. And so, latter is often paired with the word ‘half’.

So in the given question we use the term Latter to denote the end part of the speech
