Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following expression? 'It cannot stay at one place.'

  1. A.Determiner✓ Correct
  2. B.Pronoun
  3. C.Particle
  4. D.Adverb

Explanation

In the phrase 'at one place', the word 'one' modifies the noun 'place' by specifying quantity/number. Words that come before nouns to specify or quantify them (such as 'one', 'two', 'a', 'the', 'this', 'some') function as determiners. Here 'one' is a numerical determiner indicating a singular specific place. It is not a pronoun (it doesn't replace a noun) nor an adverb nor a particle.
