NEWSWEEK Remembers Paul the Octopus

Less than six months ago, Paul the Octopus
catapulted from a life of obscurity to worldwide
fame. Now, Paul has died, at the ripe old
octopus age of two.

A common octopus living at the Sea Life
Center in Oberhausen, Germany, Paul was able
to correctly predict the winner of all Germany's
World Cup matches. Prior to the matches, Paul
was given two boxes of food, identical except for
the flags of the competing teams. The team
represented on the box Paul chose to eat from
inevitably won the match. His picking prowess
made him an international star.

Here at NEWSWEEK, we were just as taken
with Paul as was the rest of the news media,
and in an attempt to get inside his cephalopodial
head, we sought out prestigious pet psychic
Catherine Ferguson. In honor of Paul, we
present that video yet again. Rest in peace,
Paul the Octopus.

Newsweek, October 28th, 2010

Analyze the following statements:

I. “Catapulted from” (line 2) can be understood

formed by the suffix –ly, and are adjectives.
