OFF is an adverb in this sentence. The give-away clue is that we could also say, I turned the light OFF just before . . .

Your other answers are correct.

Thank you for checking my answers. Could you please explain a little more as to why "off" is an adverb?

In this sentence, "off" modifies the verb "turn." An adverb can go more than one place in a sentence without changing the meaning. It can be separated from the words "the light." Those facts are not true of prepositions.

Lol

you almost got all

To identify the part of speech of the italicized word in each sentence, we can examine the function it serves in the sentence and its characteristics:

1. "YET" in the first sentence is used to connect two contrasting ideas and shows a relationship between them. It is functioning as a conjunction.

2. "INDEED" in the second sentence is used to emphasize or confirm something. It expresses strong agreement or affirmation. Therefore, it is an interjection.

3. "ENTHUSIASTICALLY" in the third sentence modifies the verb "laughed" and describes how Aunt Samantha laughed. It indicates the manner of the action. Therefore, it is an adverb.

4. "SLOWLY" in the fourth sentence modifies the verb "browsed" and describes how the man browsed. It indicates the manner of the action. Thus, it is an adverb.

5. "OFF" in the fifth sentence shows the relationship between the action of turning and the noun "light". It indicates direction or movement. Therefore, it functions as a preposition.

6. "THROUGH" in the sixth sentence shows the relationship between the action of glancing and the noun "window". It indicates movement or direction. Hence, it is a preposition.
