To identify the part of speech of a word, we need to understand its function in the sentence. Here's how you can determine the part of speech of the italicized words:
1) Everyone in the cafeteria was SUDDENLY surprised by the sound of the principal's voice over the loudspeaker.
The word "SUDDENLY" modifies the verb "surprised" by indicating the manner in which the surprise occurred. It describes an action and ends in -ly, which is a common characteristic of adverbs. Therefore, the correct answer is adverb.
2) Some students had never used the help program BEFORE.
The word "BEFORE" introduces the time or order of an action and connects it to the main clause. It does not modify any word directly nor does it have an -ly ending. "BEFORE" is a common preposition used to show a relationship in time. Therefore, the correct answer is preposition.
3) In order to see the double rainbow, the entire class went OUTSIDE.
The word "OUTSIDE" indicates the location where the entire class went. It shows the place or position and does not modify any word directly. "OUTSIDE" is commonly used as a preposition to indicate location. Therefore, the correct answer is preposition.
Please note that the correct answers are marked with asterisks. Remember that identifying the part of speech requires understanding the function and context of the word in the sentence.
