Read the paragraph. The next day, we began the trek up Mount Magnificent. At first, the climb was an easy walk on a well-marked
trail. But soon, we were scrambling over _______ boulders and scaling walls of stone. What word type would best complete the sentence? a verb an adverb an adjective a noun
An adjective. You're describing how the rocks felt. For example "But soon, we were scrambling over JAGGED boulders and scaling walls of stone." That is an adjective. Answer: adjective
Explanation: a verb is a word that expresses an action made by the subject of the sentence, an adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb, an adjective is a word that modifies a noun, and a noun is a word that names a place, person, or object. In this case the word that best completes the sentence is an adjective, because it will modify the noun "boulders" making complete sense with the rest of the sentence.
