Put Chioma's meat in _____ pack.
Answer Details
This question tests knowledge of the correct order of adjectives in English. When multiple adjectives modify a single noun, they must follow a specific conventional sequence. The standard order is:
Opinion/quality (e.g., beautiful, shiny)
Size (e.g., big, small)
Age (e.g., new, old)
Shape (e.g., round, square)
Colour (e.g., red, blue)
Origin (e.g., Nigerian, French)
Material (e.g., wooden, plastic)
Purpose/type (e.g., lunch, sleeping)
Applying this to the adjectives in the question:
Shiny = opinion/quality
New = age
Red = colour
Lunch = purpose (it is a lunch pack)
The correct order is therefore: shiny new red lunch pack. Each adjective falls neatly into its expected slot in the sequence, producing a natural-sounding phrase.
