The Noun Family: Common Adjectives

The underlined word "radio-controlled" is a compound adjective that describes the type of car Jim wanted for Christmas. It is not a proper noun or a specific name, but rather a common adjective that describes a characteristic of the car.

The underlined word "Italian" is not a common adjective. It is a proper adjective because it is derived from a proper noun (Italy) and specifically describes the origin or nationality of the noun it modifies (ices). Common adjectives, on the other hand, describe general qualities or characteristics.

The common adjectives in the sentence are gray, tattered, worn, and favorite.

The correct answer is both A & C. Common adjectives can be both colors, numbers, shapes, and sizes, as well as lower-case words.

Lower-case words can also function as adjectives when they describe or modify nouns. Therefore, both A and C are correct as they represent different types of common adjectives.

A common adjective is a word that describes both nouns and pronouns. Adjectives provide additional information about the noun or pronoun they modify, such as its size, color, or quality. Therefore, the correct answer is "both A & B" because common adjectives can describe both nouns and pronouns.

Therefore, the correct answer is article.
