Verified by Toppr

In the above sentence, the word 'still' adds to the meaning of the word 'lives'. It tells us 'He' is presently living in that house. Since 'lives' is a verb so the word qualifying it or adding to its meaning will be an adverb. Therefore option A is the correct answer.
An adjective is used to add meaning to a noun or a pronoun. In the above sentence, 'still' does not add any meaning to the noun in the sentence which is 'house' or the pronoun 'he'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Conjunction is a word used to join words or sentences. 'Still' in the above sentence does neither therefore option C is incorrect.
Option D is also incorrect as 'still' is not the name of a person, place or thing as nouns are.
