Test: Adjectives - 1 - Grade 5 MCQ

To determine the correct word to complete the sentence, we need to analyze the options given and choose the one that follows the rules of comparative adjectives.
Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things, and they often end in -er. In this case, we are comparing the curtains in the store, so we need to choose the correct form of the adjective "fancy."
Let's analyze the options provided:
A:

Fancyest

- This form is incorrect as "fancy" does not follow the rule of adding -er.
B:

Fanciest

- This form is correct as it follows the rule of adding -est to form the superlative degree of the adjective.
C:

Most fanciest

- This form is incorrect as it combines the superlative form "most" with the incorrect comparative form "fanciest."
Therefore, the correct answer is option B:

Fanciest

.
To summarize, the correct word to complete the sentence is "fanciest" because it follows the rules of comparative adjectives.

Adjectives in the sentence "Small children skipped":
- Small: This is the adjective in the sentence. It describes the size of the children.
- Children: Although "children" is a noun, it is not an adjective in this sentence.
So, the correct answer is C: Small.

The correct answer is C:

Some great big

Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to determine the correct order of the adjectives before the noun "oranges."
In English, the typical order of adjectives before a noun is:
1. Quantity or number (e.g., some, many, few)
2. Opinion or quality (e.g., great, delicious, fresh)
3. Size (e.g., big, small, large)
4. Shape (e.g., round, square)
5. Age (e.g., old, new)
6. Color (e.g., orange, green, red)
7. Origin or nationality (e.g., Italian, Chinese, American)
8. Material (e.g., wooden, plastic, metal)
9. Purpose or qualifier (e.g., cooking, decorative)
Applying this order to the given options, we can see that option C: "Some great big oranges" follows the correct order of adjectives.
- "Some" represents quantity.
- "Great" represents opinion or quality.
- "Big" represents size.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I bought some great big oranges."

To determine the correct answer, we need to compare the different options and choose the one that fits grammatically and contextually.
Comparison:
- Option A: "A merryer"
- Option B: "The merriest"
- Option C: "A merrier"
Explanation:
- Option A: "A merryer"
- This option is grammatically incorrect. The comparative form of "merry" should be "merrier," not "merryer."

- Option B: "The merriest"
- This option is the superlative form of "merry," indicating the highest degree of merriment.
- However, in the given sentence, the comparison is between multiple people being home for the holidays, not the level of merriment.
- Therefore, this option does not fit the context of the sentence.

- Option C: "A merrier"
- This option is the comparative form of "merry," indicating a higher degree of merriment compared to something else.
- In the given sentence, the comparison is between different Christmases.
- The presence of everyone being home for the holidays makes one Christmas "merrier" than another.
- Therefore, this option fits the context of the sentence and is grammatically correct.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is Option C: "A merrier," as it is both grammatically correct and fits the context of the sentence.

Analysis:

The sentence is asking for the appropriate adjective order to describe the professor. In English, the general order for multiple adjectives preceding a noun is as follows:

Opinion/Quality - Size - Age - Shape - Color - Origin - Material - Purpose

Therefore, the correct order for the adjectives in the sentence should be:

That (opinion/quality) interesting (new) Japanese (economics) professor.

The correct option is A:

• Option A:

  That interesting new Japanese economics



• Option B:

  That Japanese interesting, new economics



• Option C:

  That interesting, new, Japanese, economics

Option A is the correct answer because it follows the correct adjective order for describing the professor. The adjectives "interesting" and "new" are placed before the noun "Japanese economics" in the correct order.

Adjectives in the sentence "Wet ducks swam":
- Wet: This is an adjective that describes the state of the ducks. It tells us that the ducks are covered in water or some other liquid.
- Ducks: Although "ducks" is a noun, it can also be considered an adjective in this sentence as it specifies the type of animals that are swimming.

To determine the correct answer choice, we need to consider the proper order of the words in the sentence and the appropriate adjective-noun combination.
The sentence states that "My uncle wore a ________ to the wedding." We need to fill in the blank with the correct phrase.
Let's analyze the answer choices:
A: Silk blue tie
B: Tie blue silk
C: Blue silk tie
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the adjective-noun order in the English language. Adjectives typically come before the noun they describe.
- Option A: Silk blue tie
This option does not follow the correct order of adjective-noun. The correct order should be "blue silk tie."
- Option B: Tie blue silk
This option also does not follow the correct order of adjective-noun. The correct order should be "blue silk tie."
- Option C: Blue silk tie
This option follows the correct order of adjective-noun. The correct order is "blue silk tie," where "blue" describes the color, "silk" describes the material, and "tie" is the noun.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: Blue silk tie.

The correct answer is A: Worse.
Here's a detailed explanation:
- When comparing two things, we use the comparative form of the adjective. In this case, we are comparing the state of the cold this morning to its previous state.
- The comparative form of the adjective "bad" is "worse." So, we use "worse" to describe the cold getting worse this morning.
- The superlative form of the adjective "bad" is "worst." However, in this sentence, we are not comparing the cold to anything else, so we do not use the superlative form "worst."
- "Worser" is not a correct comparative form of the adjective "bad." The correct form is "worse."
To summarize:
- The comparative form of "bad" is "worse."
- The superlative form of "bad" is "worst."
- "Worser" is not a correct form.
Therefore, the correct word to fill in the blank is A: Worse.
