Correct! :-)
what is the perimater of a 90 degree angle multiply by 2 a 17 multiply that answer by 7 add 90 and subtract 23.
To determine whether the underlined word is an adverb or a preposition, you can follow these steps:
1. Understand the definition: An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb, while a preposition is a word that shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.
2. Look at the function of the word: If the word is modifying a verb, adjective, or adverb, it is likely an adverb. If it shows a relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word, it is likely a preposition.
Let's analyze each sentence:
1. "Be sure to bring your skates in before the rain starts."
- In this sentence, "in" is functioning as a preposition because it shows the relationship between the noun "skates" and the noun "rain."
2. "The boy clasped the money tightly in his hand."
- In this sentence, "in" is functioning as an adverb because it modifies the verb "clasped" by giving additional information about how the money was clasped (i.e., tightly).
3. "What do you think you'd find over the rainbow?"
- In this sentence, "over" is functioning as a preposition because it shows the relationship between the noun "rainbow" and the noun "find."
4. "High above the mountain, the hawks wheeled in lazy circles."
- In this sentence, "above" is functioning as a preposition because it shows the relationship between the noun "mountain" and the noun "high."
5. "A fire blazed inside, welcoming the weary travelers."
- In this sentence, "inside" is functioning as an adverb because it modifies the verb "blazed" by giving additional information about where the fire was blazing.
Using this approach, you correctly identified "in" as an adverb in sentence 1, but it should be identified as a preposition. The rest of your answers are correct.
