Identify the part of speech of the highlighted word in the following sentence:

It needs to be done with care.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Noun.
Detailed Explanation (English): In the sentence “It needs to be done with care,” the highlighted word “care” represents a thing or quality—the manner in which something should be done. It names an abstract idea (the act of being careful), and words that name things, ideas, or qualities are nouns.
Therefore, “care” is a noun (an abstract noun).
Grammatical rule used: A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. When it refers to feelings, emotions, or qualities (like honesty, beauty, care), it is called an abstract noun.
Explanation of the grammatical rule in Hindi: Noun (संज्ञा) वह शब्द है जो किसी व्यक्ति, स्थान, वस्तु या भावना का नाम बताता है। यहाँ “care” एक भाववाचक संज्ञा (abstract noun) है क्योंकि यह एक गुण या अवस्था को दर्शाता है।
Example:
· She handled the baby with care. → “care” = noun (the manner or quality of being careful).
Meanings of other options: · Pronoun: a word used in place of a noun (सर्वनाम) · Verb: a word that shows action or state (क्रिया) · Adverb: modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb (क्रिया विशेषण)
