1. "Outstanding" most likely means a. exceptional.
2. The capitalized word "WORKING" is used as a. a participle. It is describing the charger as being in a functional state.
3. The capitalized word "EXPERIENCED" is used as a. a participle. It is describing the chef as having a certain level of experience.
To answer question 1, we need to understand the meaning of the two parts "out" and "standing" in the compound word "outstanding".
"Out" typically means "outside" or "beyond", and "standing" can refer to "being in an upright position". So, combining the meanings of the two parts, "outstanding" most likely means something that stands out or is exceptional.
Therefore, the correct answer is a. exceptional.
To answer question 2 and 3, we need to determine if the capitalized words are used as participles or verbs in the given sentences.
A participle is a verb form that can function as an adjective or part of a verb phrase. A verb, on the other hand, is an action word.
2. In the sentence "I really need to get a WORKING charger for my phone," the word "WORKING" describes the charger. It tells us the type or condition of the charger. Since it is describing the charger, "WORKING" is used as an adjective, which means it is a participle.
Therefore, the correct answer is a. participle.
3. In the sentence "She's an EXPERIENCED chef; she should have no trouble finding work," the word "EXPERIENCED" describes the chef. It tells us a characteristic of the chef. Again, like in the previous sentence, "EXPERIENCED" is used as an adjective and is considered a participle.
Therefore, the correct answer is a. participle.
