    Explanation

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. French porcelain
    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    There are two ___ dresses in her closet

    • A.

      Red beautiful

    • B.

      Beautiful red

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    B. Beautiful red
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "beautiful red" because the word order in English typically follows the pattern of adjective + noun. In this case, "beautiful" is an adjective describing the type of dress, and "red" is the color of the dress. Therefore, "beautiful red" is the correct order of the adjectives to describe the dresses in her closet.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I bought a ____________ car

    • A.

      Nice, green

    • B.

      Green, nice

    • C.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Nice, green
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "nice, green" because it follows the correct order of adjectives in English. When multiple adjectives are used to describe a noun, they usually follow a specific order: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. In this case, "nice" describes the general opinion of the car, and "green" describes its color. Therefore, "nice, green" is the correct order of adjectives in this sentence.

      Beautiful young

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    B. Beautiful young
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "beautiful young". This is because the adjective "beautiful" describes the lady's physical appearance, while "young" describes her age. By using both adjectives, the sentence emphasizes that the lady is both beautiful and young.

      Silk pink

    • C.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Pink silk
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "pink silk" because the question is asking why you can't wear a specific dress tonight, and the dress in question is pink silk. The other options, "silk pink" and "none of the above," do not accurately describe the dress that cannot be worn.

    • C.

      Both

    Correct Answer
    B. Black leather

    Correct Answer
    A. Wonderful old Italian

In this case, "wonderful" is the opinion, "old" is the age, and "Italian" is the origin. Therefore, the correct order is "wonderful old Italian."
