Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence ?
Graphologists can verify whether the autographs are real or fake ?
Answer: D
The underlined word 'or' is a Conjunction.
A conjunction joins words, phrases or clauses. In 'whether the autographs are real or fake', 'or' joins the two adjectives 'real' and 'fake' and presents them as alternatives. It is a coordinating conjunction, like 'and' and 'but'.
An adverb modifies a verb, adjective or adverb; a preposition links a noun or pronoun to another word (in, on, by); a pronoun stands in place of a noun. 'Or' does none of these.
