Practice Question
Which of the following parts of speech expresses emotion?
Answer Choices
- A: A verb
- B: An interjection
- C: An adverb
- D: A pronoun
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Interjections like 'Wow!' or 'Ouch!' express emotions directly, making B correct. Verbs describe actions or states, not emotions. Adverbs modify other words, indicating manner or degree, not feelings. Pronouns replace nouns, lacking emotional expression. Thus, only interjections fit the description.
