ELA Review 3/31

Samira is writing a letter to the town newspaper. Read the beginning of Samira's letter and the question that follows.

I am writing to let people know that we need to clean up the park on Woodland Drive. When I was little, I loved to play there because there was a nice playground. My brothers and I also played tag in the woods and climbed trees there. Unfortunately, we can't do that anymore. The playground is falling apart, and it isn't a safe place to play. Someone might get hurt on the swings or the slide because they have broken pieces. Also, a lot of trees have fallen in the woods so it isn't safe to go there either. If everyone got together, we could fix the playground and clean up the woods so people could enjoy the park again.

How is the word slide used in the letter?

• It is a noun

• It is a verb

• It is an adjective

• It is an adverb
