a) noun; -ing; -ed
b) adverb; -ed; -ing
c) adjective; -ed; -ing
d) conjunction; -ing; -ed
To select the correct answer, we need to understand what a participle is and how it can function in a sentence.
A participle is a verb form that can function as an adjective or part of a verb phrase. Participles can be present participles or past participles.
Present participles always end in "-ing," while past participles can end in "-ed," "-d," "-t," "-en," or remain unchanged. However, it's important to note that some verbs have irregular past participles that don't follow these patterns.
Now let's go through the options and find the correct answer:
a. subject - This is not correct. A participle can function as an adjective or a verb phrase constituent, but not as a subject.
b. noun - This is also not correct. While a participle can function as an adjective and modify a noun, it is not a type of noun itself.
c. adjective - This is the correct answer. A participle can function as an adjective by describing or modifying a noun or pronoun.
d. adverb - This is not correct. Participles do not function as adverbs in a sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. adjective.
