In the sentences provided, 'handle' is a noun, 'coordinate' is a verb, and 'coordinated' is an adjective, showing the importance of context in determining parts of speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question of which part of speech matches the bold words in the sentences provided:

1. 'handle' in sentence 11 is a noun as it refers to an approach or way of dealing with a situation.
2. 'coordinate' in sentence 11 is a verb because it describes the action of working together in an organized way.
3. 'coordinated' in sentence 8 is an adjective modifying the noun 'response' and describing the nature of the intragovernmental response.

Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. In sentence (11), 'outbreak' and 'lands' are nouns. In sentence (16), 'project' and 'coordinator' are nouns. In sentence (8), 'response' and 'acres' are nouns.
