Thank You.

I have recently been checking a few answers on this site and I have noticed Ms. Sue isn't really helpful, although she comments a lot. What would actually help is if she explained why the answer was wrong or at least said something other than "yes" and "no". If she's a teacher, I am disappointed. I would expect more from somebody who is in the field of education.

Thank you very much. can you help me on #2?

I think #2 is A.) noun.

To identify the word that best describes the bolded word, we need to analyze the function of the word in the sentence. Let's break down the sentences:

1) The match was played INDOORS due to the bad weather.

The word "INDOORS" describes how the match was played. It provides more information about the verb "played." In this sentence, "INDOORS" is modifying the verb and answering the question "where."

Since "INDOORS" is describing the verb, it functions as an adverb. Therefore, the correct answer is B.) adverb.

2) The REST of the inheritance was given to charity.

The word "REST" describes a part of the inheritance. It provides more information about the noun "inheritance." In this sentence, "REST" is indicating the remaining portion of the inheritance.

Since "REST" is describing the noun, it functions as an adjective. Therefore, the correct answer is C.) adjective.

So, in summary:
1) The word "INDOORS" is an adverb.
2) The word "REST" is an adjective.

Yes, 2 is a noun.

1. Yes.

2. No.
