1. The correct answer is C, French. French should be capitalized because it s is a language and languages are always capitalized.
2. A pronoun is a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants or to someone else mentioned. Some examples include I, you, he, she, and it. This means the correct answer is A, because her is referring to a girl.
3. An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. A linking verb does not describe an action, but describes the subject by connecting it to an adjective or noun. Some examples of a linking verb include being, seem, and was. The verb in this sentence is looks, which can function as both an action verb or a linking verb. In this case, the correct answer is B, a linking verb, as the weather is not physically looking at something, but rather the weather is linking to cold and dreary.
4. An interjection is used to convey emotions. They can stand alone or be used before or after a sentence. The correct answer is C, yikes. It is the only word that can be used alone and it also conveys emotion.
5. Assuming the italicized adverb is very, the correct answer is C, sorry. An adverb describes a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It tells when, where, how, or how often. In this case, very is modifying sorry, because it shows how sorry the person is.
6. Assuming the italicized word is over, the correct answer is A, an adverb. Over can be used as either an adverb or a preposition depending on the context. In this particular sentence, it is used as an adverb because it is not followed by any other essential word or phrase along with it. We could just say, "Why don't you come over?" and the sentence would still makes sense. An example of over used as a preposition is, "The rabbit jumps over the hole." In this case, over is used as a preposition because we need to know what the rabbit jumped over.
