Question

Choose the word which can be best described using the below adjective.
Pointed

• A. Eyes
• B. Nose
• C. Lips
• D. Hair

Answer 1

The correct option is B Nose

The adjective, 'pointed' means 'having a sharp end'. It is used to describe nouns such as 'chin', 'teeth', 'nose', 'arches found in medieval buildings' and 'sharp instruments'. Hence, option B is correct.

Some adjectives which can be used with 'lips' are: 'full', 'attractive', 'luscious, 'plump', 'rosy', and 'puckered up'. Some adjectives which can be used with 'hair' are: 'luxuriant', 'glossy', 'bouncy', 'untidy' and 'dishevelled'. Some adjectives which can be used with 'eyes' are: 'beady', 'gleaming', 'twinkling', 'hollow', 'blood-shot' and 'sallow'. However, 'pointed' is not an adjective which can be used to describe any of the above three nouns. Given the above, options A, C and D are incorrect.
