Determine the part of speech for the italicized word in the sentence below. The purple flamingo flapped outrageously as the blue alligator closed in for the (attack.) noun verb adverb adjective preposition interjection

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Noun

Explanation:

The word attack can be used either as a verb or a noun. When it's a verb, it refers to the action of attempting to cause damage or death to something or someone, and when it is a noun, it refers to an aggressive and violent act or attempt against someone or something.

In the sentence, attack is used as a noun because it is placed after an article: the (Verbs are not placed after an article). Besides, if we replace the word attack for its definition, it makes sense: (...) as the blue alligator closed in for the violent attempt against the purple flamingo.

Answer 2
Answer: The word "attack" is an action word, so it is a verb.

Last night, Jason introduced me to a friend of his. Whose hair was all the way down to the back of his knees in a single dreadlock. is this sentence correct

Answers

Incorrect sentence.

Corrected sentence: Last night, Jason introduced me to a friend of his, whose hair went all the way down to the back of his knees in a single dreadlock.

The period before the word "whose" in the original creates a fragment "Whose hair was all the way down to..." This is a phrase which is describing "a friend of his" and should be included in the same sentence. So you simply separate it by a period.

What is a complete sentence?

A sentence is considered to be full when it has a subject, a verb, and a complete thought.

The noun or pronoun that either performs the action of the sentence or receives its action is referred to as the subject in a sentence. A sentence's verb determines how it will be said.

A subject and a verb are necessary for a complete sentence. A whole statement can be written in as little as two words, as in the following example: I am. A sentence that lacks a subject, a verb, or both is referred to as a sentence fragment or an unfinished sentence.

At least one subject and one predicate, which make up an independent clause, must be present in every complete sentence.

Hence, option (B) is the complete sentence.

B is a complete sentence.
A, although it has a complete thought, it has "although," so unless you place a dependent clause at the end, it is not a sentence.
C is missing a verb.
