Identify the part of speech of the highlighted word.
The jury pronounced the convict guilty.

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Adjective.
• The word “guilty” describes the noun “the convict” by stating his condition/status.
• It works as an object complement after the verb “pronounced”.
• A word that describes a noun/pronoun is called an adjective.
Example: The judge found the accused guilty.
Why other options are incorrect:
• Pronoun replaces a noun (he, she, it), but “guilty” does not replace any noun.
• Adverb modifies a verb/adjective/adverb, but “guilty” modifies “convict” (a noun).
• Noun is a naming word, but “guilty” is a describing word.
