an exemplary worker, mr. smith never arrives late for work.
the word exemplary in the sentence above serves as which part of speech?
noun
adjective
adverb
verb
interjection

Explanation:

To determine the part of speech of "exemplary", we analyze its function. An adjective describes a noun. Here, "exemplary" describes the noun "worker" (Mr. Smith is the exemplary worker), so it functions as an adjective. Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas; adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs; verbs show action or state; interjections express emotion. "Exemplary" does not fit these other categories.

Answer:

B. Adjective
