The underlined word in the sentence "She was honoured for her courage." is "honoured."

Part of Speech:

1. Verb: In this context, "honoured" functions as a verb in the past participle form. It signifies the action of being given respect or recognition for an achievement, which is a typical function of verbs in a sentence.

Explanation:

The sentence indicates that "she" received recognition (was honoured) due to her courage. The verb "honoured" conveys a state of receiving honor or recognition, which is essential in understanding the overall meaning of the sentence.
