Answer

Adjective

Why?

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e ' Adjective '. Key Points The underlined word "mighty" is an adjective that describes the noun "river." It gives more information about the river, specifically its powerful and impressive nature. Adjectives are words that describe, modify, or give more information about a noun or pronoun. In this case, "mighty" describes "river." Adjectives can provide information about size, shape, age, color, origin, or material of nouns. Here, "mighty" provides an idea of the river's strength and grandeur. Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 2. Additional Information Adverb: An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb and answers questions such as how, when, where, and to what extent. "Mighty" does not modify any verb in this sentence. Noun: A noun is a word that represents a person, place, thing, or idea. "Mighty" describes a noun but is not a noun itself. Pronoun: A pronoun takes the place of a noun. "Mighty" does not replace a noun; it describes one.
