Answer 1

The correct option is C Adjective of number

We will be analysing the type of adjective that has been given in the sentence.

Option A: 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.

Option B: 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.

Option C: An adjective of number can also demonstrate a noun's position or place in a certain order. This is also known as a numeral adjective.Adjectives of number are used with countable nouns. "People" is a countable noun. Thus "some" is an adjective of number.

Option D: Demonstrative adjectives are adjectives that are used to modify a noun so that we know which specific person, place, or thing is mentioned.

Option C is correct
