The order of adjectives in the given sentence is wrong. Choose the option with the correct order:
We have a red velvet beautiful cloak.
The correct option is D We have a beautiful red velvet cloak.
We can use several adjectives to describe a single noun. But when we use adjectives of different kinds together they usually follow an order. The commonly followed order would be size, quality, colour, origin, and substance. The noun in the sentence is ‘cloak’; and the adjectives that describe it are ‘red’ which indicates the colour, ‘velvet’ which is the substance it is made of and ‘beautiful’ which describes the quality of the cloak. Hence based on the order of the adjectives it has to be ‘quality, colour and substance’, i.e. ‘beautiful red velvet cloak’. Therefore option A is correct, whereas options B, C, and D are incorrect.
