Question 56

Given below are two statements :
Statement I:An adjective is said to be used attributively when it qualifies a noun directly
Statement II: An adjective is said to be used predicatively when it qualifies a noun or pronoun indirectly

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Solution

Option A is the correct answer. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Statement I is true. Attributive use means the adjective comes directly before the noun it describes.
Example: The red ball. (Here, "red" directly qualifies "ball.")

Statement II is also true. Predicative use happens when the adjective comes after a linking verb like "is, seems, looks," and describes the subject indirectly.
Example: The ball is red. ("red" describes "ball" through the linking verb "is.")
