Discussion
Identify the parts of speech of the underlined words.
However, their working relationship quickly developed into a close friendship.
Answer: A
The underlined words are an adjective, adverb.
'Working' comes before the noun 'relationship' and describes what kind of relationship it was, so here it is an adjective (a participle used attributively). 'Quickly' modifies the verb 'developed', telling how the relationship developed, so it is an adverb.
'Working' is not a verb here, since 'developed' is the verb of the sentence, and it is not a noun because it qualifies 'relationship' rather than naming something itself.
