Which sentence correctly follows the standard order of adjectives in English?
AShe bought a red, beautiful, small bag.
BShe bought a red, small, beautiful bag.
CShe bought a small, beautiful, red bag.
DShe bought a beautiful, small, red bag.
Explanation
English adjectives conventionally follow a specific order before a noun: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. Since ‘beautiful’ expresses an opinion, ‘small’ describes size, and ‘red’ describes color, the correct order is opinion before size before color, giving ‘a beautiful, small, red bag.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
