Which Part of Speech is the underlined word?
Japanese companies particularly excel in this.
Answer: B
'Particularly' is an adverb.
In 'Japanese companies particularly excel in this', the word modifies the verb 'excel', telling us to what degree or in what special way they excel. Words that modify verbs are adverbs, and the -ly ending formed from the adjective 'particular' is typical of them.
It is not an adjective, because it does not describe a noun; not a noun, because it names nothing; and not a conjunction, because it joins no words or clauses.
