6. Decide on the part of speech for each of the words in bold in the following short passage. Choose between the following grammatical categories or parts of speech given in the table below: noun pronoun gerund adjective past participle present participle phrasal verb adverb verb It is exceedingly difficult
() to ascertain precisely () what is meant by the word () ‘culture’. The word is commonly used to refer to almost () anything connected with a person’s customary () behaviour when considered () distinctive in form to that () of a person from another background (). The problem is that this definition begs the question. Is it race that determines () the difference in culture? Or is it nationhood? Certainly, there are noticeable cultural differences between citizens of various () nations, although they may share membership () of the same race. Is language perhaps the determinant of culture? Or class? After all, even within the same nation there are extreme () differences between the lifestyle and language of the classes that make up () a society, as well as varying attitudes towards acceptable () behaviour and manners. The problem appears to be that, on closer () analysis, each and every one of us belongs to a unique culture, regardless of the apparent () general culture into which we are categorised. It all depends on how narrowly the word is defined for its intended purpose. By analysing () the word ‘culture’, anthropologists are beginning () to accept that the word is much overworked.
