Question 16 • HS BCS Literature and Composition I 25-26
The first “for” shows the relationship between “reached” and “the birdfeeder,” so it is a preposition. The second “for” connects two independent clauses—“The squirrel reached for the birdfeeder” and “he saw it was filled…”—so it is a conjunction. The correct choice is “a preposition and a conjunction.”
