Question

Choose the Adjective/Adjectives in the following sentence, and identify which class each belongs:

Every dog has his day.

• A. every - Distributive Numeral Adjective
• B. his - Adjective of Quality
• C. every - Indefinite Numeral Adjective; his - Adjective of Quality
• D. every - Definite Numeral Adjective; his - Adjective of Quantity

Answer 1

The correct option is A every - Distributive Numeral Adjective

Distributive adjectives are normally used with singular nouns. 'Every' is used to denote every single one of a group. 'His' mentioned in options B, C and D is not an adjective. 'His' is a pronoun.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
