Which do YOU THINK it is?

A action physical

To determine if "honor" is an action verb (physical), action verb (mental), linking verb, or not a verb, we need to understand the function of the word in the sentence and the context of its usage.

In the sentence, "In China, shrines honor ancestors," the word "honor" is used as a verb to describe what the shrines do. It is the action performed by the shrines. So, it is not a linking verb (which connects the subject to a subject complement) or not a verb at all.

To further classify it as an action verb (physical) or action verb (mental), we need to ascertain if it represents a physical action or a mental action.

In this case, "honor" is a mental action. It represents a concept or sentiment rather than a physical action performed by the shrines. So, "honor" functions as an action verb (mental) in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is b. action verb (mental).
