'a cupboard for the dishes.'
The underlined word is a/an ___________ .
Answer: C
'For' is a preposition.
In 'a cupboard for the dishes', the word 'for' links the noun phrase 'the dishes' to 'cupboard' and shows their relationship, the purpose of the cupboard. A word placed before a noun or pronoun to show its relation to another word is a preposition.
'For' can be a conjunction when it joins two clauses in the sense of 'because' ('He left, for it was late'), but here it is followed only by a noun phrase. It is not an article (a, an, the) or an adverb.
