Identify the parts of speech of the underlined words.
I was transported to the time when I was around her age.
Answer: C
The underlined words are a noun, preposition.
'Time' names a thing (a period) and is the object of the preposition 'to' in 'to the time', so it is a noun; the article 'the' before it confirms this. 'Around' is followed by the noun phrase 'her age' and shows the relation of approximate position to it, so it is a preposition meaning 'about'.
'Around' would be an adverb only if it stood without an object (as in 'look around'), and 'time' is not used as a verb or adjective here, which rules out the other options.
