Key Points
  • The word "Adders" refers to a specific type of snake found in Britain, which is a noun.
  • Nouns are words that name people, animals, things, places, ideas, or concepts.
  • In this sentence, "Adders" serves as the subject, indicating the kind of snake being discussed.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
 
Additional Information
  • Noun – A noun is a part of speech that names a person, place, thing, idea, action, or quality. In this case, "Adders" is a proper noun referring to a specific type of snake species.
  • Adjective – Adjectives describe or modify nouns. However, "Adders" itself is not an adjective.
  • Adverb – Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and "Adders" does not serve this function in the sentence.
  • Determiner – Determiners introduce nouns and can indicate things like quantity, possession, definiteness, and "Adders" is not used in this way in the sentence.
