PSSA Practice of the Day Read the paragraph. (1) James Buchanan, born in Pennsylvania in 1791, served as the 15th President of the United States. (2) He attended Old Stone Academy before attending Dickinson College. (3) After graduating from Dickinson College, Buchanan studied law in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. (4) Soon after, he volunteered to serve in the War of 1812. Which group of words functions as an adjective? born in Pennsylvania in 1791 in sentence 1 attending Dickinson College in sentence 2 graduating from Dickinson College in sentence 3 to serve in the War of 1812 in sentence 4

PSSA Practice of the Day The student is asked to identify which underlined phrase functions as an adjective. In Option A, the underlined phrase is a participle that functions as an adjective because it describes James Buchanan, and is therefore the correct answer. In Option B, the underlined phrase is a gerund functioning as the object of the preposition “before,” and is therefore not functioning as an adjective. In Option C, the underlined phrase begins with a verbal that functions as a noun, not an adjective. In Option D, the underlined phrase begins with a verbal that is an infinitive phrase that is functioning as an adverb, not an adjective. Read the paragraph. (1) James Buchanan, born in Pennsylvania in 1791, served as the 15th President of the United States. (2) He attended Old Stone Academy before attending Dickinson College. (3) After graduating from Dickinson College, Buchanan studied law in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. (4) Soon after, he volunteered to serve in the War of 1812.
