Test: Type I (Adjectives) - Banking Exams MCQ

3. Blue

Explanation: An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun. In this case, "blue" is an adjective because it can describe the color of something (e.g., blue sky, blue shirt).

• "Quickly" is an adverb.
• "Swim" is a verb.
• "Dog" is a noun.

The adjective "tall" is used to describe the noun "tree."

"Loud" is an adjective that can describe the noun "cat."

The adjective "beautiful" is used to describe the noun "dress."

"Play" is a verb, not an adjective. The other options are adjectives that can describe nouns.
 

The adjective "happy" is often used to describe a person's mood or emotional state, such as "happy child" or "happy teacher."

In the sentence "He was beaten at his own game," the word "own" is an emphasizing adjective. It emphasizes that the game in question belonged to him, and that he was therefore particularly vulnerable or exposed by being defeated in it.

Emphasizing adjectives are used to place emphasis on a particular quality or characteristic of the noun they modify. They add extra emphasis or weight to the meaning of the sentence, and can help to make it more vivid or dramatic.

Other examples of emphasizing adjectives include "utter," "complete," "total," "absolute," "outright," and "unmitigated."

The word 'any' is used to indicate quantity, so the answer is (b) Quantity. It is a determiner that is used to refer to an indefinite or negative amount of something.

The adjective opposite in meaning to the word 'beautiful' is (a) Ugly. 'Beautiful' means pleasing to the senses or mind, while 'ugly' means unpleasant or unattractive to look at. Therefore, 'ugly' is the opposite of 'beautiful'. 'Bad', 'worst', and 'worse' are not opposite in meaning to 'beautiful', as they do not relate to physical appearance or aesthetic appeal.

The comparative degree of an adjective denotes a higher degree of the quantity than the (a) positive degree. The positive degree of an adjective is the simple form of the adjective used to describe a quality or attribute. The comparative degree is used to compare two things or people and denote a higher degree of the quality or attribute in one of them. The superlative degree is used to compare three or more things or people and denote the highest degree of the quality or attribute in one of them. Therefore, the comparative degree is higher than the positive degree, but lower than the superlative degree.
