"Horse" is a countable noun, and the sentence uses it correctly.

The correct answer is 'Possessive adjective.'

Let us explore the given options:

• 'Possessive pronoun' A possessive pronoun does show ownership, but it does not come before a noun or in a noun phrase. It stands alone. It can also be used to replace a noun.
• Here is a list of the possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its.
• ​'Possessive adjective' sits before a noun or a pronoun to show who or what owns it. The possessive adjectives are my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and whose.
• 'Adverb' is a word that modifies (describes) a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole sentence.
• 'Verb' is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence.
• In the given sentence, the noun 'pen' belongs to someone. But his is used before a noun, therefore it is a possessive adjective.​

In the sentence, "loudly" is the adverb. It modifies the verb 'spoke' by describing how the teacher spoke—indicating the volume or manner of speech.

Adverbs like 'loudly' describe the manner or intensity of an action, often related to aspects like volume, speed, or clarity.

The correct preposition to use in this sentence is "for." Therefore, the sentence reads, "She apologized for being late to the meeting."

The preposition "for" is typically used to express regret or remorse for an action or situation.

Interesting Fact: Using "apologized for" signifies expressing regret or acknowledging fault for a specific occurrence, in this case, being late to the meeting, indicating a sense of remorse for the delay.

Engender is to cause or create.

If we read the sentence, we can observe that as situation of 'cause and effect' is given where the result is the effect of the last five years. Since the result is unpleasant, the cause too must have been undesirable so we have 'misadventures' as the best answer.
adventure- excitement associated with danger or the taking of risks.
misadventure- an unfortunate incident; a mishap.
step- a measure or an action.
reform- make changes in (something, especially an institution or practice) in order to improve it.
Clearly, option B is the correct answer.
