Question

Is the underlined word(s) a participle or a verb? Read the sentence. Where is that (banging) -underlined word-noise coming from? Which best identifies the function of the underlined word?

Answer 1

Answer:Participle is the answer.

Explanation: banging is connecting the word noise describing it.

Answer 2

The answer is definitely a Verb

i mean think about it, "banging" is a loud sound and the main meaning of verb is something like hear, become, happen, or a action. Plus, the sentence says "where is that "banging"  noise coming from"

So obviously, its something they heard, IF it were a noun it would probably be a place, thing, person.

But overall, the answer is Verb. Hope this answers your question!
