In this exercise, we are asked to fill in the blanks with suitable adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns by giving us more information about them. Let's go through each sentence step by step:
The tempting sight of ice cream tempted Katy.
The adjective 'tempting' is used because it relates to the way the sight of the ice cream affects Katy's desire.
Five fluffy chicks played around the hen and the rooster.
The adjective 'fluffy' describes the physical appearance of the chicks, making it more vivid.
My grandfather was a professor at the university.
The adjective 'my' is a possessive adjective, showing that the grandfather belongs to the speaker.
On each side of the swimming pool, there were small tables.
'Small' is used here to describe the size of the tables, providing a clearer image.
Meghna fell down while trying to tie her loose shoelaces.
The adjective 'loose' describes the state of the shoelaces, explaining why Meghna fell.
Our principal shared some very interesting stories with us.
'Our' is a possessive adjective, indicating to whom the principal belongs (the speaker's school).
It was a rainy day, and people were carrying umbrellas.
'Rainy' describes the weather of the day, which makes carrying umbrellas logical.
Adjectives provide vivid detail and help make writing more descriptive and engaging. In these sentences, they serve various functions, from describing physical characteristics to indicating possession.
The sentences require suitable adjectives that describe qualities or states related to the nouns. By analyzing each sentence, we identified adjectives such as 'tempting', 'fluffy', 'my', 'small', 'loose', 'our', and 'rainy'. These adjectives help clarify and enrich the sentences by providing more specific information about the nouns.
