Question

Identify the part of speech of the highlighted word in the given sentence.
Do you have anything else for me?

A.

Adverb

B.

Conjunction

C.

Noun

D.

Adjective

Correct option is A


The correct answer is (a) Adverb.
In the given sentence, the word else modifies the pronoun anything by adding the meaning of “additional” or “more.” It answers the question what more, thereby functioning adverbially.
Grammatical rule involved (English):
Words like else are used as adverbs when they modify pronouns such as something, anything, nothing, etc., to express an additional or different sense.
व्याकरण नियम (Hindi): Else शब्द जब something, anything, nothing जैसे pronouns के साथ अतिरिक्त अर्थ देने के लिए प्रयोग होता है, तब वह adverb की तरह कार्य करता है।
Meanings / role of the other options:
• (b) Conjunction: Used to join clauses or sentences; else is not joining anything here.
• (c) Noun: Else is not a naming word.
• (d) Adjective: Though else may look descriptive, it does not directly describe a noun here.
Thus, the correct option is Adverb.
