Answer 2

The word 'helpful' is not an action verb; it is an adjective that describes a noun, unlike 'planned,' 'assisted,' and 'developed,' which are verbs that denote action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The item in the list which is not an action verb is e. Helpful. Action verbs express specific physical, mental, or emotional activities performed by a subject. In contrast, 'helpful' is an adjective, which describes a characteristic or quality of a noun, rather than an action.

1. Planned
2. Assisted
3. Developed
4. Helpful

Words like 'planned,' 'assisted,' and 'developed' are verbs that illustrate actions someone might perform, whereas 'helpful' does not fit this category as it does not represent an action.
