An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) Whose scooter is blocking the gate of the society? | (II) Interrogative Adjective | An interrogative adjective comes before a noun and asks a question about it: what, which, whose. “Whose” asks about the owner of the scooter. |
| (B) The mason needs some cement to fill the crack in the wall. | (IV) Adjective of Quantity | An adjective of quantity tells how much of a thing there is. Cement is measured, not counted, so “some” tells how much. |
| (C) Kavya stitched the lehenga for the wedding with her own hands. | (III) Emphasizing Adjective | An emphasizing adjective adds force to a noun: own, very. “Own” stresses that Kavya did the work herself. |
| (D) Each runner in the school marathon got a bottle of water. | (I) Distributive Adjective | A distributive adjective takes people or things one at a time: each, every, either, neither. “Each” points to the runners one by one. |
