Which comparative form of the adjective 'fast' is grammatically correct?
faster
fastest
more fast

The correct comparative form of 'fast' is 'faster'. 'Fastlier' and 'more fast' are not standard forms, and 'fastest' is used for the superlative degree.

Which sentence demonstrates the use of multiple adjectives before a noun?
The antique vase was ivory delicate.
The vase, antique, ivory, delicate, was priceless.
The vase was antique, ivory, and delicate.

extremely, remarkably, exceptionally
extremely, talented, exceptionally
remarkably, creative, essay
talented, creative, well-crafted

In a sentence with multiple adjectives before a noun, such as 'a charming little old stone cottage,' what is the correct order of adjectives?
Material, Age, Size, Opinion
Age, Material, Opinion, Size
Size, Opinion, Material, Age
Opinion, Size, Age, Material
English adjective order typically follows the sequence: opinion, size, age, and material. This order helps create a natural sounding description for the noun.
How does the position of an adjective affect the meaning of a sentence? Consider the difference between 'the only child' and 'the child only.' Which option best explains the difference?
Both phrases mean the same.
'The only child' implies a negative trait, whereas 'the child only' is positive.
'The only child' means there is a single child; 'the child only' emphasizes that no one else is involved.
'The only child' describes a special child, while 'the child only' refers to a child with only one toy.
The phrase 'the only child' indicates that there is just one child in the family, whereas 'the child only' shifts the emphasis to exclude others. This illustrates how adjective placement can change the focus of the meaning.
Which of the following statements best explains the subtle difference in meaning between 'an old friend' and 'a friend old in years'?
'An old friend' describes someone boring; 'a friend old in years' describes someone wise.
'An old friend' suggests long-term familiarity, while 'a friend old in years' emphasizes the friend's age.
'An old friend' implies the friend is outdated, whereas 'a friend old in years' shows familiarity with trends.
Both phrases are interchangeable in meaning.
The distinction lies in emphasis; 'an old friend' typically refers to a friend with a long history, while 'a friend old in years' focuses more on the biological age of the person. This nuanced difference highlights the impact of adjective placement.
Consider the sentence: 'Only the most brilliant, resourceful, and innovative students solved the complex puzzle.' Which group of adjectives can be considered coordinate adjectives, and why?
most, solved, complex, because they are linked by commas.
resourceful, innovative, puzzle, because they are related.
only, brilliant, complex, because they modify different parts of the sentence.
brilliant, resourceful, innovative, because they equally describe the noun 'students.'
The adjectives 'brilliant,' 'resourceful,' and 'innovative' independently modify 'students' and are separated by commas, qualifying them as coordinate adjectives. The other options do not meet the criteria for coordinate adjectives.
