Explanation:
1. <em>Remember,</em> a preposition is a word or group of words that are often used before a noun or pronoun in other to indicate the direction of an object or the location. Therefore, the word, "on" is a good example of a preposition.
2. A conjunction is a word that helps to connect sentences or clauses together. The word 'and' is an example of conjunction as it helps to connect the first sentence, "<em>Each year Americans....sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes," to the second</em> <em>"cranberry sauce are a large part of Thanksgiving celebrations."</em>
<em>3.</em><em> </em>An<em> </em>adjectives are words that describe or modify other words. Hence, the word 'yummy' describes the delicious feeling when<em> "Some families include breaking the turkey's wishbone as part of their celebration."</em>
<em>4.</em><em> </em>The word,<em> "their" </em>is a pronoun because it acts to replace a noun in other to avoid repetitions of a noun.
5. A noun in simple terms, is a word that names an object, person or thing. Here, the word, 'wishbone' is the name of an object<em> "found attached to the breast meat in the turkey's chest."</em>
6.<em> </em>Here, the word 'larger' describes/modifies the word <em>"part of the bone". </em>
<em>7.</em><em> </em>An adverb is any word that modifies a verb, adverb, sentence, or other words. The word 'generously' does exactly that by modifying the adverb, 'to'.
8. <em>Remember, </em>a verb is a word that describes/shows an action. Here the 'donate' indicates an action that is done.
