Question : Identify the underlined part of speech in the given sentence:
Hurrah! The students have passed the exam.
Option 1: Adjective
Option 2: Adverb
Option 3: Interjection
Option 4: Conjuction
Correct Answer:
Interjection
Solution : The correct answer is option 3.
Explanation:
- Let's look at the possibilities:
- Adjective: A word designating a noun's quality.
- 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.
- 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.
Hurrah! is used to convey happiness or approval.
Hurrah! can therefore be referred to as a "interjection."
