Question

Which word in the sentence is an adjective? The Alaskan salmon was the highlight of the meal. A. meal B. salmon C. highlight D. Alaskan

Answer 1

The answer is Alaskan. An adjective is a word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it. In this sentence, Alaskan describes the noun salmon as a salmon that came or was caught from Alaska or perhaps a specie of salmon that originates from Alaska. Meal, salmon, and highlight are all nouns and therefore cannot be adjectives.
