Question

C. Find the Adjectives: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle.​

Answer 1

Adjectives are descriptive words in a sentence that modify nouns or pronouns. Examples from the given sentence include 'nasty,' 'dirty,' 'wet,' and 'oozy,' which provide specific details about the subjects they describe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked to find the adjectives in the provided sentences. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns, providing more detail about the subject. For instance, in the sentence 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell...' the words 'nasty,' 'dirty,' 'wet,' and 'oozy' serve as adjectives.

Exploring the text further, we would identify more adjectives that contribute to the imagery and provide specificity to the nouns they describe. This emphasizes their qualifying and descriptive role in sentence construction, and helps to enhance the reader's understanding and visualization of the content.
