Question

Read the sentence. Some plants produce flowers during the _____ season. Which word completes the sentence with a verb functioning as an adjective? summer rainy humid growing

Answer 1

D: growing

Step-by-step explanation:

The word that completes the sentence with a verb functioning as an adjective is growing. The verb grow plus the ing particle form the present participle (used to form continuous or progressive). In "growing season", the same verb has the function of an adjective.

Summer is a noun

Rainy is an adjective but it is not a verb.

Humid is an adjective but it is not a verb.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be "growing"

Growing is the present participle of the verb to grow, which in this case functions as an adjective.
