The correct option is "interrogative adjective".

Interrogative adjectives are <u>words that modify nouns or other terms inside a question</u>. They can be compared to interrogative pronouns, but the difference is that <u>interrogative adjectives don't stand on their own and they always act in relation to another term</u>.

In this example the word "What" acts as an interrogative adjective that modifies the term "on Earth".

If the sentence would've been "What is causing all the excitement today?", then the word "what" would be functioning just as an interrogative pronoun.


Hope this helps!

He is a machine, working non stop for over nine hours! Is this sentence a metaphor, simile, or a analogy?
Ronch [10]
This sentence is a metaphor. Metaphors are rhetorical figures of speech which have to do with symbolic comparisons without the use of comparing words such as <em>like </em>or <em>as </em>(because when those words are used, it is a simile). So here, the man is compared to a machine based on how many hours he can work. It is also not an analogy, because analogies are references to people or events outside of the work where the analogy is used.

2. An example of a realistic dialogue piece in this text is “What is a chuppa?”. This is realistic because in real life no one knows everything.

4. “Becca is telling Cindy about her friends wedding traditions.” this is realistic because it could happen in real life.
