An enticing image of a tranquil morning scene just before sunrise. At the heart of the scene are a variety of birds perched on tree branches filled with lush green leaves. The sky subtly transitions from dark blue at one edge, indicative of the fading night, to a radiant orange-gold on the other side, marking the onset of a new day. The birds are animated as if they are chirping audibly, spreading the dawn chorus around the serene natural landscape. The image is devoid of any text.

The birds "chirped" loudly every morning before sunrise. (1 point)

You're very welcome.

It's a kind of adjective phrase, but it has a more specific name.

Thanks Ms.Sue

In the given sentence, the word "chirped" is functioning as the action verb.

To determine the answer, let's break down the options:

1. Action verb: An action verb is a word that expresses an action. In this case, "chirped" describes the action of the birds making a loud noise every morning before sunrise.

2. Helping verb: A helping verb is used in conjunction with the main verb to express tense, mood, aspect, etc. However, in the given sentence, there is no helping verb used alongside "chirped."

3. Linking verb: A linking verb connects the subject of the sentence to a noun, pronoun, or adjective that renames or describes it. Since "chirped" does not connect or rename the subject, it is not functioning as a linking verb.

4. None of the above: The correct answer is not "none of the above" because "chirped" does indeed act as an action verb in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is "action verb."
