EnglishGrammar: Adjective

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option out of the given…

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option out of the given ones to complete the sentence given below:

That big circular____ brown _______ table is not for sale.

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 1

The correct answer is Option (1) → antique, wooden

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.

Order of adjectives:

  • When several adjectives come before a noun, they usually follow this order: opinion, size, shape, age, colour, origin, material, purpose. Many grammars put age before shape. Both orders are found.
  • This sentence: "big" (size) and "circular" (shape) come first, then the first blank, then "brown" (colour), then the second blank.
    • First blank, between shape and colour: an age word, antique.
    • Second blank, after colour: a material word, wooden.
  • Complete sentence: That big circular antique brown wooden table is not for sale.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 2: wooden, antique — Incorrect.

  • First blank: "wooden" is a material word. Material comes after colour, not before it.
    Example: She painted the brown wooden door.
  • Second blank: "antique" is an age word. Age comes before colour, not after it.
    Example: He bought an antique brown clock.

Option 3: Indian, plastic — Incorrect.

  • First blank: "Indian" is an origin word. Origin comes after colour, not before it.
    Example: She wore a red Indian silk sari.
  • Second blank: "plastic" (material) after "brown" is in order, but the first blank already fails.
    Example: Fill the blue plastic bucket with water.

Option 4: plastic, Indian — Incorrect.

  • First blank: the material "plastic" comes before the colour "brown". Material comes after colour.
    Example: He sat on a green plastic chair.
  • Second blank: the origin "Indian" comes after the material. Origin comes before material.
    Example: He wore an Indian cotton shirt.

Contrast: an age word (antique) comes before colour. A material word (wooden) comes after it.
