In the following sentence, identify the part of speech of the italicized word.
thousands of years ago, fish were caught in nets and traps.
a. pronoun
b. conjunction
c. preposition
d. verb

I think that the answer is D meaning a verb

Betray, destroy, and obey do not need to be changed to add the suffix -ed, because the "y" at the end of each word is preceded by a vowel  (so  they would be spelled  "betrayed," "destroyed," and "obeyed").

but hurry is different; it has to  be spelled "hurried" because the "y" at the end of "hurry" is preceded by a consonant.
