Solution

The correct option is A Adjective of quality

The adjective in the given sentence is ‘huge’. It is an adjective of quality that tells you what a person or thing is like, i.e. their nature. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand, an adjective of origin tells you the place a person or thing comes from or the place they belong to, like ‘Mexican hat’ or ‘French flag’. While an adjective of substance explains what the noun is made of, like ‘a plastic box’ or ‘silk dress’. Whereas an adjective of number suggests either the number of nouns or their position or place in a certain order. For example, ‘five apples’ or ‘first week’. Since the given adjective indicates the quality and not the origin, substance or number, options A, B and D are incorrect.
