    Question

    Identify the part of speech of the highlighted word.
    Rakesh is bent upon having a fight with his neighbour.

    A.

    Conjunction

    B.

    Noun

    C.

    Preposition

    D.

    Pronoun

    Correct option is C


    The correct answer is (c) Preposition.
    • The highlighted word “upon” shows a relationship between bent and having a fight.
    • It is used in the fixed expression “bent upon” (meaning determined to do something).
    • A word that shows the relationship between words and links them is called a preposition.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    • Conjunction joins clauses/sentences (and, but, because), “upon” does not do that here.
    • Noun is a naming word; “upon” is not a name.
    • Pronoun replaces a noun; “upon” does not replace any noun.
