• A. Who does not like hot delicious coconut cookies?
• B. Who does not like delicious hot coconut cookies?
• C. Who does not like delicious coconut hot cookies?
• D. Who does not like coconut delicious hot cookies?

Answer 1

The correct option is B Who does not like delicious hot coconut cookies?

In order to find out the right sentence, let's understand what the order of adjectives is. If we have multiple adjectives in a sentence, the order of adjectives should be this - 1. Quantity, 2. Quality, 3. Size/type, 4. Age, 5. Shape, 6. Colour, 7. Proper adjective and 8. Purpose/Qualifier. We see three adjectives here - delicious - quality, hot - type and coconut - proper adjective/qualifier. Hence, looking at the order of adjectives, we can say Option B - 'Who does not like delicious hot coconut cookies?' is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they don't follow the correct order of adjectives.
