unique is an adjective. IS is the only verb.

What does the prepositional phrase ..in many ways answer then? Hoatzin is where, when, how... this one doesn’t seem to make sense.
Answered by oobleck
"in" is a preposition, so it must be starting a PP, right?

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
"in many ways" tells how it is unique.
