Identify the part of speech of the highlighted word in the following sentence.
His health is no worse than before.

Correct option is B

Correct answer: (b) Adjective
Key point: “worse” describes the subject “health”.
• Worse is the comparative degree of “bad”.
• In “health is no worse”, the verb is is a linking verb, so the word after it works as a predicate adjective (it describes the subject).
Example: Her condition is worse today.
Why other options are incorrect:
• (a) Verb → “worse” is not an action.
• (c) Adverb → it does not modify a verb here; it describes “health”.
• (d) Conjunction → it does not join clauses/words here.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
