Question

Mark the sentence with correct adjective order :

• A. I cannot part with my black old leather purse.
• B. I cannot part with my old leather black purse.
• C. I cannot part with my old black leather purse.
• D. I cannot part with my black leather old purse.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

I cannot part with my old black leather purse.

The proper adjective order should be quantity, quality, size, age, shape, colour, origin, and qualifier. Here it is age (old), colour (black), origin (leather) and purse. Hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
