Identify the Part of Speech of the underlined word in the expression 'terrible slaughter'.
Answer: A
The underlined word slaughter is a Noun.
In 'terrible slaughter', slaughter names a thing, the killing of many people, and it is described by the adjective terrible. A word that is qualified by an adjective and names something is a noun.
Slaughter can be a verb in other sentences ('to slaughter animals'), but here it is preceded by an adjective, not used as an action. Terrible is the adjective in the phrase, and there is no adverb.
