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:

  1. Opinion/quality (e.g., beautiful, shiny)
  2. Size (e.g., big, small)
  3. Age (e.g., new, old)
  4. Shape (e.g., round, square)
  5. Colour (e.g., red, blue)
  6. Origin (e.g., Nigerian, French)
  7. Material (e.g., wooden, plastic)
  8. 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.
