• D. 1-6, 2-8, 3-5, 4-7

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the given task, we need to match the part of speech labeled in bold with their respective usage. The word is "ABOVE," and we need to assign it correctly to the options provided. Let's match them:

I	II
1. adjective	5. Rain comes from above.
2. adverb	6. His conduct is above suspicious.
3. Noun	7. Look above the mantel piece.
4. preposition	8. The above information is for the public.

Now, let's address each option:

1-8: "Above" is used as an adjective. The phrase "The above information is for the public" indicates "above" describes which information is referred to.

2-7: In "Look above the mantel piece," "above" is modifying the verb "look," indicating where to look, hence used as an adverb.

3-5: "Rain comes from above" uses "above" as a noun indicating the sky or a higher place.

4-6: In "His conduct is above suspicious," "above" serves as a preposition showing the relationship between "conduct" and "suspicious," meaning his conduct is higher than questionable.
