Well, well, well! Looks like we've got a tricky one here. The underlined part of speech in this sentence is an adjective, my friend. "Many" is modifying the noun "women" and describing how interesting they are. So, the answer is B.) adjective. Keep up the good work!
To identify the underlined part of speech in the given sentence, we need to first identify which word is underlined. However, as no word is underlined in the provided sentence, it becomes difficult to determine the exact part of speech in question.
To overcome this, we can analyze the sentence to identify the role of each word and find possible candidates for underlining. Let's break down the sentence:
“Dolley Madison, the wife of the fourth United States president, is one of history’s many interesting women.”
In this sentence, we can point out a few key words or phrases that might be underlined:
- Dolley Madison: This is a proper noun phrase referring to a person's name. It does not fit any of the options provided.
- fourth United States president: This phrase is describing the position or title of Dolley Madison's husband and refers to a specific person by using the ordinal number and a proper noun. It does not fit any of the options provided.
- history’s many interesting women: This phrase describes a group of women and uses an adjective to convey their quality or characteristic. This could potentially be the word underlined.
Given the options provided, it is reasonable to conclude that the underlined part of speech is an adjective (option B). However, without seeing the actual underlined word, it is not possible to be certain.
Neither do I. What's underlined?
