Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence ?
The area is home to dozens of perennial streams.
Answer: C
The underlined word 'perennial' is an Adjective.
In 'dozens of perennial streams', perennial describes the noun streams, telling what kind of streams they are: ones that flow all year round. A word that describes or qualifies a noun is an adjective.
It is not a noun, since it names nothing here; not an adverb, since it does not modify a verb; and not a pronoun, since it does not replace a noun.
