The highly unusual Mexican jumping bean is named for its fast popping movements. The bean is actually a seed from a shrub found in Mexico. \( \underline{\text { Oh, it is not really the bean that is jumping! A caterpillar lives inside, and }} \) its movements cause the bean's jumping. The caterpillar grabs the bean's inner walls with its tiny legs and snaps its body. Presto! The bean pops! The caterpillar hollows the inside of the seed, but the outside remains a hard shell. The seed's jumping helps scare \( \underline{\text { away birds } \underline{\text { or }} \text { animals that would eat }} \) the seed. After several months, the caterpillar cuts an escape hatch for itself, yet it cannot quite leave the bean. First, it must spin a cocoon. Then it changes into a moth. The moth very soon emerges through the lid it cut earlier.

Let's break down the text step by step according to the instructions provided. ### A. Label each underlined word 1. **Oh** - Inter 2. **away** - Adv 3. **or** - Conj ### B. Draw an arrow from each adverb to the word it modifies - **away** modifies **scare** (the action of scaring). ### C. Place parentheses around each prepositional phrase 1. The highly unusual Mexican jumping bean is named (for its fast popping movements). 2. The bean is actually a seed (from a shrub) (found in Mexico). 3. (Oh, it is not really the bean) that is jumping! 4. A caterpillar lives (inside) (its movements) cause the bean's jumping. 5. The caterpillar grabs the bean's inner walls (with its tiny legs) and snaps its body. 6. Presto! The bean pops! 7. The caterpillar hollows the inside (of the seed), but the outside remains (a hard shell). 8. The seed's jumping helps scare (away birds) (or animals) (that would eat) the seed. 9. (After several months), the caterpillar cuts an escape hatch (for itself), yet it cannot quite leave the bean. 10. (First), it must spin a cocoon. 11. (Then) it changes (into a moth). 12. The moth very soon emerges (through the lid) it cut (earlier). ### D. Label each prepositional phrase Adj P (adjectival phrase) or Adv P (adverbial phrase) 1. (for its fast popping movements) - Adv P 2. (from a shrub) - Adj P 3. (found in Mexico) - Adj P 4. (inside) - Adv P 5. (with its tiny legs) - Adv P 6. (of the seed) - Adj P 7. (for itself) - Adv P 8. (after several months) - Adv P 9. (into a moth) - Adv P 10. (through the lid) - Adv P 11. (earlier) - Adv P ### Summary - **Interjections**: Oh - **Adverbs**: away - **Conjunctions**: or - **Prepositional phrases**: - (for its fast popping movements) - Adv P - (from a shrub) - Adj P - (found in Mexico) - Adj P - (inside) - Adv P - (with its tiny legs) - Adv P - (of the seed) - Adj P - (for itself) - Adv P - (after several months) - Adv P - (into a moth) - Adv P - (through the lid) - Adv P - (earlier) - Adv P This breakdown follows the instructions provided and clearly identifies the parts of speech and their relationships within the sentences.
