Final answer:

The task involves correcting adjectives in sentences where necessary. The correct adjective forms are 'satisfied' for sentence a), no change needed for b), 'exhausted' for sentence c), 'disgusting' for sentence d), and no change needed for sentence e).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question requires identifying the correct form of adjectives in given sentences and correcting those that are inaccurate. Let's explore the sentences provided:

  • a) The teacher was satisfied when her students passed the test. The adjective should convey the teacher's feeling, and 'satisfying' is not the right form. The correct adjective is 'satisfied'.
  • b) We were very frightened when we saw the dangerous road. This sentence is correct as is. 'Frightened' appropriately expresses the feeling of fear.
  • c) When I finished the 10 km run, I was exhausted. 'Exhausting' describes something that causes tiredness, while 'exhausted' is how someone feels after being tired out. Therefore, 'exhausting' should be changed to 'exhausted'.
  • d) I ate some blue cheese in England, and it was disgusting. Similar to the previous sentence, 'disgusted' describes a feeling, but here we need to describe the cheese. The correct adjective is 'disgusting'.
  • e) My mum was worried when I didn't call her. This sentence is correct as it stands. 'Worried' is the proper form to describe the mother's state of concern.

Adjusting these sentences ensures that the feelings are correctly attributed to the subjects and that the adjectives are being used in their appropriate forms.
