Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following expression ?
'It cannot stay at one place.'
Answer: A
The underlined word 'one' is a determiner.
In 'at one place', one comes before the noun place and specifies how many: it is a numeral determiner, like a, two or this in front of a noun.
It would be a pronoun only if it stood alone in place of a noun ('I want the red one', 'one must try'). It is not a particle, and it is not an adverb, because it tells us which or how many places, not how, when or where the action happens.
