Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarika dubey answered
Adjective in the sentence:
- Word: Friendly

Explanation:
- In the sentence "The friendly cat purred softly," the word "friendly" is an adjective as it describes the type of cat. Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns or pronouns, providing more information about them.
- In this case, "friendly" describes the cat, indicating that the cat has a friendly or pleasant demeanor.
- Adjectives like "friendly" help to add detail and paint a clearer picture in the reader's mind by providing characteristics or qualities of the noun they are describing.
- Without the adjective "friendly," the sentence would simply read "The cat purred softly," which would not give as much information about the cat's behavior or personality.
- Therefore, in the sentence provided, "friendly" functions as an adjective modifying the noun "cat."

Understanding the Correct Answer: Option B
The sentence compares the pollution levels of London now to those ten years ago. To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options.
Analyzing the Options
- a) as / as: This construction is used for comparisons of equality. It would imply London is equally polluted now as it was ten years ago, which contradicts the statement's intention.
- b) such / as: This is the correct choice. "Such a polluted city as it was" indicates that London is not as polluted now as it was in the past, highlighting a change in pollution levels.
- c) so / that: This option would imply a level of pollution that leads to a consequence, which does not fit the context of direct comparison.
- d) more / than: This construction is used to indicate a greater degree of pollution now compared to ten years ago, contradicting the idea that London is less polluted.
- e) enough / to: This option does not fit the context of comparison at all, as it suggests sufficiency rather than a comparative level of pollution.
Conclusion
In summary, option B, "such / as," correctly conveys that London is not as polluted now compared to how it was ten years ago. It emphasizes the difference in pollution levels effectively, making it the best choice for the sentence structure.

Understanding Adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns, providing more detail about them. In the sentence "My little sister loves to sing," we need to identify which word serves this purpose.
Analyzing the Options
- a) My: This is a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership. It tells us who the sister belongs to but does not describe her.
- b) Little: This is the correct answer. "Little" describes the noun "sister" by providing information about her size or age, indicating that she is small or young.
- c) Sister: This is a noun that refers to a female sibling. It does not describe anything; it simply names a person.
- d) Sing: This is a verb that describes an action. It tells us what the sister loves to do but does not modify any noun.
Conclusion
The word "little" is the only adjective in the sentence because it adds descriptive detail about the noun "sister." Adjectives enhance our understanding of nouns by answering questions like "What kind?" or "How many?" In this case, "little" answers the question of what kind of sister she is.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'B'.
