wtf?

Answer 6

A preposition is a small word that carries the big words in the sentence

Answer 7

It couldn't be an interjection because an interjection sets the mood of a sentence

around doesn't set the mood

Answer 10

Exactly, so it's not an interjection

Answer 11

It's an adverb, because it describes the verb

Answer 12

I know that... it is not a adverb or a conjunction

Answer 13

It is an adverb

Answer 14

no... cattle would be the adverb because it describes what they raised around the walls of the city

Then if it's not adverb then it'd be preposition.. I'm not too sure though
