Question

Identify the underlined adjective in the given sentences-an adjective of quality, quantity, number, demonstration, description or possession:
Chandravadan's father is a rich man.

• A. Quality
• B. Quantity
• C. Possession
• D. Distribution

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Quality

In the given sentence, the underlined adjective 'rich' explains the kind of man 'Chandravadan's father' is.

Option B - 'Quantity' explains the number or the amount of something. 'Rich' doesn't explain the number of the noun, thus it's not an adjective of quantity. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Possession' explains us the ownership of a noun. 'Rich' doesn't explain any ownership of the noun. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Distribution' is used to single our one more individuals of a group or some items. As 'rich' is not used to explain distribution, it is a wrong choice. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'Quality' is used to express the kind or nature of the noun. As 'rich' explains the kind of man 'Chandravadan's father' is, we can say that 'rich' is the adjective of quality. Thus option A is the correct answer.
