Answer

The correct answer is C. More specifically, we can assume the noun is a plural noun, as in these baskets.
Learning to recognize the various types of nouns is essential to a student’s understanding of the
relationship between pronouns and nouns. Pronouns usually refer to something earlier in the text—an
antecedent—and must agree in number—singular/plural—with the thing to which it refers.

Question

When a word answers questions such as Which? What kind? or How many? we can assume it is what
part of speech?

A Noun

B Adjective

C Adverb

D Interjection

Answer

The correct answer is B. Adjectives give us more information about nouns and pronouns. Adjectives
nearly always appear immediately before the noun or noun phrase they modify. Adjectives are also used
to form comparative and superlative statements. Comparative adjectives compare two things while the
superlative compares three or more things. The inflected suffixes -er and -est form most comparatives
and superlatives, although -ier and -iest are used when a two-syllable adjective ends in -y (fancier and
fanciest).
