Answer 1

The student's question requires the use of adjectives in sentences, which includes proper adjectives derived from proper nouns, such as 'Canadian' and 'Asian,' and demonstrative adjectives like 'this' and 'those.' Options a) and b) use four adjectives correctly, demonstrating how they add detail to nouns.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves constructing sentences using certain adjectives. An adjective is a part of speech that modifies or describes a noun, and it can often have characteristic endings such as -ous, -ish, -ful, and -ary. Examples include words like "delicious," "waspish," "beautiful," and "wary." Adjectives can be further modified by qualifiers, like "very" or "extremely," and comparative words, such as "more," "most," "less," and "least," forming what are called adjective phrases.

Proper adjectives are formed from proper nouns and are used to describe a specific thing that is associated with a name, like "Canadian winter" or "Asian countries." In the provided sentences, both options a) and b) correctly use four adjectives, including proper adjectives and demonstrative adjectives ("this," "that," "those"), and articles ("a," "an," "the"). These sentences show how adjectives provide detail and specificity to the nouns they describe, conveying nuanced information such as the feeling of the weather or the nature of a region's climate.
