Question 42

Identify the usages of the word "PUZZLE" in the following sentence.
'The students got puzzled solving the puzzle".

Solution

Share

The first "Puzzled" acts as a verb here, referring to the children's confusion, and the second "puzzle" works as a noun, referring to a thing or problem that has confused the children. 

The word thus acts as a verb and a noun. 

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
