Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
That book belongs to the ..........lady
Answer Details
The correct answer is "tall black American." In English grammar, we use adjective order to determine the appropriate order of multiple adjectives that describe a noun. The general rule is that adjectives are listed in the following order: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. In this case, we are describing a lady, and the adjectives we have to choose from are "tall," "black," and "American." Following the adjective order rule, "tall" (size) should come before "black" (color), which should come before "American" (origin). Therefore, the correct order of adjectives is "tall black American."
