Answer 1

1. The correct answer is D. time. This is because the woman believes that she doesn't have enough time to fulfill her dreams, and that time is slipping away from her and taking away her youth and beauty.
2. The word inside is a A. preposition. Prepositions are words we use to usually denote where something is - words like in, at, on, under, etc. are all prepositions.
3. The word Gosh! is an C. interjection. Words such as Ouch!, Wow!, Huh!, etc. are usually followed by an exclamation mark and called interjections because they express a feeling.
4. The word and is a B. conjunction. Conjunctions are linking words which connect parts of sentences - words such as and, or, but, etc.
