An entry in a printed thesaurus contains

Answer
A
the word’s part of speech.
B
the origin of the word.
C
the number of syllables.
D
the pronunciation of the word.

Explanation

A thesaurus groups words by meaning and commonly identifies the part of speech so you can choose a synonym that fits the sentence. The word’s origin and pronunciation are typically found in a dictionary, not a thesaurus entry. Thus, the correct choice is “the word’s part of speech.”
