that is the underlined word

Answer 2

Let's think, What's an adjective?

Answer 3

a word that modifies a noun

Answer 4

Does "That" modify anything?

Answer 5

city

Answer 6

its modifying something that hasn't been mentioned in this sentence

Answer 7

dump

Answer 8

i think its a pronoun assuming that whatever that is was described completely in a previous sentence

Answer 9

pretty

Answer 10

Back, sorry. "That" modifies the thing that they saw in the dump, so it is not in the sentence.

Answer 11

"That" isn't modifying anything in this sentence. It is representing something.

Answer 12

It wouldn't be a pronoun (a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this ),

Or a regular noun (a word (other than a pronoun) used to identify any of a class of people, places, or things common noun, or to name a particular one of these proper noun.)

So I believe that it is safe to assume it would be an Adjective, No?

Answer 13

Answer 15

That would be my answer, but it is late here, not 100%.

No, that and this are demonstrative pronouns.

That is the subject in this sentence, so it must be a noun or pronoun.
