What kind of adjective is the underlined word in the sentence?
After the wedding, the Kapoors parked their new car outside the temple gate.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Possessive Adjective
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Here “their” comes before “new car” and shows that the car belongs to the Kapoors.
