A sentence, because it has a subject and verb( well technically a helping verb-are)
I looked this question up online, and this is the complete question that I found:
What part of speech is the bold word in the sentence below?
Exhausted and breathless, Charlie navigated the wooded path, desperate to avoid capture.
a. verb
b. adverb
c. adjective
d. noun
Answer:
The bold word "navigated" is a:
a. verb
Explanation:
A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state. Verbs are part of the predicate, and they help introduce information about the subject of the sentence. Verbs must agree with the subject they refer to, that is, the verb will be singular or plural depending on what the subject is. Examples of verbs are: to go, to try, to sleep, to dance, to forgo, to awake, to eat, etc.
In the sentence above, the word "navigated" is a verb that expresses action. It is conjugated in the past form to indicate that the action started and finished at a specific time in the past.
Vonnegut used television to reinforce a theme within the text, because: By broadcasting the deaths of Harrison and the ballerina, television is used to ensure conformity and control the citizens. This shows the dangers of "total equality" as violence is used to ensure equality.
<h3>What is the theme of Harrison Bergeron?</h3>
"Harrison Bergeron," which was written by Kurt Vonnegut showed an American society where citizens were made to conform to the dictates of society. Harrison rebelled and danced at a televised program.
He was, however, killed by Diana and this was seen by the viewers. The broadcast of the death shows that rebellion will not be tolerated. This will instill fear in the viewers.
