Question

name the part of speech of each italicized word in the following sentences giving in each case your reason for the classification the up train is late ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The 'up train' is short for up-going train. 'Up' modifies the noun 'train' to show the direction in which the train is going, it's an adjective and option B is hence, correct. Option A is incorrect because the underlined word is not a noun since it does not refer to a name of a person, place, thing, or idea. Option C is incorrect because an adverb modifies a verb, whereas the word 'up' modifies the noun 'train. A conjunction is a word which connects two independent clauses (two parts of a sentence) hence 'up' is not a conjunction
