Answer 1

The correct classification of words from the provided passage into adjectives and adverbs is Option A, with words like 'candy', 'bright', and 'blue' being correctly identified as adjectives. Option B incorrectly includes proper nouns, and Options C and D list words not functioning as adverbs in the passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to classify a list of words as either adjectives or adverbs based on a provided passage. An adjective is a word that describes a noun, whereas an adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

To determine the correct answer, we must analyze the passage and identify which words are used as adjectives and adverbs. Looking at the passage and the options provided: Option A lists candy, bright, blue, front, hot, and bright as adjectives. All of these words are used to describe nouns in the passage, making them adjectives.

Option B incorrectly lists Wendy and Peter, which are proper nouns, and both and holding, which are not used as adjectives in the context of this passage. Option C and Option D list words that are not adverbs in the given context. Therefore, the correct option is Option A.
