I am studying conjuctions, interjections, punctuation and capitalization ...I need to decsribe the itlicized word as a noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adver, preposition, conjuctions or interjection;;

She was born into a wealthy New York family that placed great value on education. WEALTHY

She also worked hard to win equal rights for women and minorities. EQUAL

First you need to ask yourself, "What is that word "doing" in this sentence - what is its job?"

What is "weathy" doing? It is talking about ( describing) family. It is a wealthy family. Then ask yourself what part of speech describes nouns. Adjectives, of course.

Now you do the second sentence. Repost if you would like for us to check it for you.
I am also giving you the site for grammar information.

To determine the part of speech of a word, you can look at its function in the sentence and the role it plays. Here's how you can determine the part of speech for the words "wealthy" and "equal" in the context of the given sentences:

1. She was born into a wealthy New York family that placed great value on education. (WEALTHY)
- Looking at this sentence, "wealthy" is used as an adjective to describe the New York family. It provides more information about the noun "family" by indicating that they are affluent. Therefore, "wealthy" is used as an adjective in this sentence.

2. She also worked hard to win equal rights for women and minorities. (EQUAL)
- In this sentence, "equal" is used to describe the noun "rights." It provides information about the type of rights being discussed, indicating that they are fair and unbiased. Consequently, "equal" functions as an adjective in this sentence.

In summary:
- "Wealthy" is used as an adjective.
- "Equal" is also used as an adjective.
