In the past, an otherwise ordinary person might be [elevated] to high visibility—or celebrity—by birth (Prince William), extraordinary talent (Venus Williams), or some heroic deed (Captain Sully Sullenberger, who landed U.S. Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River). However, these days, there is a new kind of celebrity.

Is elevated a verb or an adjective here?
