Sentence Analysis

The sentence is: "Amar ensured the timely delivery of the products."

The underlined word is "timely".

Word Class Reasoning

We need to determine the word class (part of speech) of "timely".

  • The word "delivery" is a noun, representing the act or instance of delivering something.
  • The word "timely" comes directly before "delivery" and describes it. It tells us *what kind* of delivery it was (a prompt or punctual one).
  • Words that modify or describe nouns are called adjectives.
  • Therefore, "timely" functions as an adjective in this sentence.

Conclusion

The word class of "timely" is an Adjective.
