'The edge of her middle finger ...'
Name the Part of Speech of the underlined word in the given sentence part.
Answer: A
The underlined word edge is a Noun.
In 'The edge of her middle finger', edge follows the article 'the' and is the head of the phrase: it names a thing, the border or side of the finger. Words that follow an article and name something are nouns.
It is not a pronoun (it does not stand in for a noun), not a preposition (that is the word 'of' which follows it) and not an adjective (it does not describe another noun). Edge can be a verb in other sentences, as in 'edge closer', but not here.
