The correct answer is Option 1.
 
Key Points
  • The word "take-off" is a compound noun formed from the verb "take" and the preposition "off."
  • In this context, "take-off" refers to the act or process of a plane departing from the ground.
  • Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea. "Take-off" functions as a thing in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
 
Additional Information
  • Noun – In this sentence, "take-off" functions as a noun referring to the event of the plane's departure.
  • Conjunction – A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses. "Take-off" is not serving this function in this context.
  • Verb – A verb indicates an action, event, or state. While the word "take" can function as a verb, "take-off" as a compound word is used here as a noun.
  • Gerund – A gerund is a verb form ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun. "Take-off" does not fit this definition.
