Identify the part of speech of the underlined word: We eat that we may live.
A)
Preposition
B)
Pronoun
C)
Pronoun
D)
Preposition
In the sentence 'We eat that we may live', the word 'that' is used to introduce a subordinate clause ('that we may live') which expresses the purpose of the action 'eat'. Therefore, 'that' functions as a subordinating conjunction (specifically a conjunction of purpose).
Analyzing the provided options:
- Option a (Preposition): Incorrect. A preposition shows a relationship between a noun/pronoun and another part of the sentence (e.g., 'in', 'on', 'at'). 'That' is not acting as a preposition here.
- Option b/c (Pronoun): Incorrect. While 'that' can be a relative pronoun (e.g., 'The book that I read'), in this specific sentence, it does not replace a noun; it connects a purpose clause to the main clause.
- Option d (Preposition): Incorrect (duplicate of option a).
Note: The provided options (a, b, c, d) are logically flawed as they only list 'Preposition' and 'Pronoun', neither of which is the correct part of speech for 'that' in this context. However, based on grammatical rules, the word is a Conjunction.
