27. In the sentence below, what part of
speech is the underlined word?
My grandmother asked me to pick a
bouquet of her late-blooming roses.
A. verb
B. noun
C. adverb
D. adjective

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader

you didn't show the passage, so unfortunately i cant you.

there is no short story here so that i can answer the question.
