The poet has used the words like whiter, blithesome, cheerful, etc.

Which part of the speech do these words belong to?

  • A.Adjective
  • B.Noun
  • C.Adverb
  • D.Interjection

Answer: A

The words belong to the Adjective class.

'Whiter' (the comparative of white), 'blithesome' (merry, light-hearted) and 'cheerful' all describe nouns, telling what something is like: in a poem about a fountain they describe its water and its mood. Words that qualify nouns are adjectives.

A noun names a person, place or thing; an adverb modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb, often ending in -ly; an interjection expresses sudden feeling, such as 'Oh!' or 'Hurrah!'. None of these fits whiter, blithesome and cheerful.
