1. The yellow house down the street from me is for sale. (Down is underlined)

Answer: d. adverb

2. What year did you graduate from high school? (High school is underlined)
Answer: b. common noun

3. Matt has been helping me overcome some difficulties. (Has been is underlined)
Answer: c. helping verb

1. The correct answer is D. adverb. To identify the part of speech or form of a part of speech in the underlined portion, you need to analyze the word's function in the sentence. In this case, the word "down" is modifying the verb "is," indicating the direction in which the house is situated. Since it is modifying a verb, it is functioning as an adverb.

2. The correct answer is B. common noun. "High school" is a type of school and does not refer to a specific entity. Common nouns are general names for people, places, things, or ideas that are not capitalized. In this case, "high school" is referring to a general type of institution, not a specific one, so it is a common noun.

3. The correct answer is C. helping verb. In this sentence, "has been" is a verb phrase that consists of two auxiliary verbs, "has" and "been," which are helping the main verb "helping." Helping verbs, also known as auxiliary verbs, assist the main verb by adding extra meaning or tense information. In this case, "has been" is indicating the present perfect continuous tense, showing that the action of helping has been ongoing. Therefore, "has been" is a helping verb in this sentence.
