Question

Adjectives are one of the four major word classes, along with nouns, verbs and adverbs. It is a word that describes a noun,
giving extra information about it.
Just one alternative about adjective is not right. Mark it.

Accepted Answer

Alternativa D: All the adjectives have two different forms: the comparative, and the superlative:

Answer

Alternativa A: Most adjectives can be used in two positions: attributive adjectives occur before the noun they describe, while
predicative adjectives are used after certain verbs:

Answer

Alternativa B: There are some adjectives that can only be used in one position or the other. For example, these two sentences are
grammatically correct:âœ“ She was alone that evening. [?alone' = predicative ]âœ“ It was a mere scratch. [?mere' =
attributive]These sentences, on the other hand, are not correct:âœ— I saw an alone woman. [?alone' cannot be used in the
attributive position]âœ— The scratch was mere. [?mere' cannot be used in the predicative position]

Answer

Alternativa C: Most adjectives are gradable. This means that their meaning can be modified (made stronger, weaker, or otherwise
altered) by placing one or more adverbs in front of them. For example: an expensive house - a very expensive house - a
fairly expensive house - an extremely expensive house The adverbs very, fairly, and extremely tell where this particular
house belongs on the scale of "expensiveness". By using them, we can make a significant difference to the meaning of an
adjective. Non-gradable adjectives are those with meanings which cannot be modified by adverbs. For example: the
western side of the mountain - electronic devices - a nuclear reactor

Answer

Alternativa E: The comparative form is used for comparing two people or things: He is taller than me. The superlative is used for
comparing one person or thing with every other member of their group: He was the tallest boy in the class.
