Answer 1

what is the underlined word?

Answer 2

IS

Sorry

Answer 3

what do you think it is

Answer 4

No idea...

Answer 5

Laundry would be the noun since it's a person/place/thing
Dry would be the adjective since it's describing the noun.
Is would be the preposition since it's linking the noun to another word in the sentence.

Answer 6

But I found this about the word is: The word "is" is a verb. It's the third-person singular present form of the verb "to be." IE, Ex. The boy is good.

I also can't find "is"on the big list of pronouns: http://www.momswhothink.com/reading/list-of-pronouns.html#pronoun list

So I change my answer. I think is is the verb.
