    Question

    Identify the part of speech of the highlighted word in the following sentence.
    We are keen to go on a vacation.

    A.

    Noun

    B.

    Pronoun

    C.

    Verb

    D.

    Adjective

    Correct option is D


    The correct answer is (d) Adjective.
    • The highlighted word “keen” describes the subject “we” by telling the quality/feeling (eager/interested).
    • A word that describes a noun or pronoun is called an adjective.
    • Here, “keen” shows the state of mind/feeling of “we”, so it functions as an adjective.
    Example:
    She is keen to learn English.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    • Noun: a naming word (person/place/thing/idea), but “keen” is not a naming word.
    • Pronoun: replaces a noun (he, she, they), but “keen” does not replace anything.
    • Verb: shows action, but “keen” is not an action word.
