Question

Jack and Jill want to play Monopoly with us.

Which meaning of the word play is used in the sentence?

A noun meaning "an athletic activity"
A verb meaning "to take part in an activity such as a sport"
A noun meaning "an activity that is engaged in for recreation"
A verb meaning "to engage in an activity for recreation"

Answer 1

A verb meaning "to engage in an activity for recreation"

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 and #2 automatically wouldn't be the answers because the word 'play' isn't being used to describe a sport being played - monopoly is a board game, not a sport (lol). #3 wouldn't be the answer because the word 'play' isn't a noun, since it isn't being used as, or means a place, person, or thing.

Hope this helps! :D
