Question

Your cousin seems to have no sense.

• A. Distributive numeral adjective
• B. Indefinite numeral adjective
• C. Adjective of quantity
• D. Adjective of quality

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Adjective of quantity

Option A: Distributive Numeral Adjectives denote singular number of noun among many. They are always followed by a singular noun and a verb. Examples: Each, every, either, neither.

Option B: An indefinite adjective is used to describe a noun in a non-specific sense. The most common indefinite adjectives are any, each, few, many, much, most, several, and some. On the other hand, numeral adjectives are used for determining numbers or countable noun. Over here although the sentence is referring to an amount, but the noun over here is uncountable.

Option C: Adjective of quantity indicates the amount or estimated amount of the noun or pronoun in the sentence. It does not provide information about exact numbers, it tells only the amount in relative or whole terms. In this sentence, the amount of sense is indicated. "Sense" is an uncountable noun. Thus "no" is an adjective of quantity.

Option D: The adjectives that are used to describe the nature of a subject or a noun or showing the kind or quality of nouns or pronouns are called Adjectives of Quality.
