'............. a bundle containing court papers.'
The underlined word is a/an :
Answer: C
The key gives verb.
'Containing' is the present participle of 'contain'. In 'a bundle containing court papers' it heads a participial phrase and takes a direct object, 'court papers', which only a verb form can do. The phrase as a whole tells us about the bundle, so it does the work of an adjective, but the word itself is a verb form.
It is not an adverb or a noun, since it does not modify a verb and is not a name for a thing. 'Adjective' is the rival answer because the phrase describes the bundle, but a plain adjective could not take an object, so the key's 'verb' is the better label.
