Option 4: Conjunction
Correct Answer:
Interjection
Solution : The correct answer is option 3.
Explanation:
- Let's consider the possibilities:
- Adverb: A word or phrase that qualifies, modifies, or adds information to an adjective, verb, or other adverb or word group to express a relationship of place, time, occasion, manner, cause, degree, etc.
- Adjective: A word designating a noun's quality.
- Interjection: An interjection is a term that is used to communicate a quick emotion in between phrases or thoughts. Exclamations can be used to greet or congratulate someone.
- Conjunction: The activity of two or more events or things happening at the same time or place.
- The word "Hello" is a greeting that is followed by an exclamation.
- Therefore, we can define "Hello!" as a "interjection."
