Step-by-step solution for: Using adjectives worksheets for grade 2 | Worsheets library
Let's solve the worksheet step by step using the word bank provided:
- long
- new
- musical
- difficult
- noisy
- sharp
- alone
- fragile
- soft
- tall
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence and choose the most appropriate adjective from the word bank.
---
1. The _______ song played on the radio.
- "musical" is already filled in — that’s correct because a "musical song" makes sense.
✔ Answer: musical
---
2. I bought five _______ dresses.
- We’re looking for an adjective to describe dresses. “New” fits well here — it’s common to buy new clothes.
- Other options like “long” or “soft” could work but “new” is the most logical choice given the context of purchasing.
✔ Answer: new
---
3. The parcel that is in the box is _______.
- Parcels can be fragile, especially if they contain breakable items.
- “Fragile” fits perfectly here — it describes something delicate or easily broken.
✔ Answer: fragile
---
4. This movie is very _______; I don’t know if I will watch it all.
- If you're unsure about watching it all, it might be too long.
- “Long” makes sense — a long movie can be hard to finish.
✔ Answer: long
---
5. I have broken a glass; the edges are very _______.
- Broken glass has sharp edges.
- “Sharp” is the best fit.
✔ Answer: sharp
---
6. This blanket is so _______; I want to put it on my bed.
- A blanket that you’d want to use on your bed is likely soft.
- “Soft” is the best choice here.
✔ Answer: soft
---
7. The _______ cat was looking in the box.
- Cats are often described as curious or quiet, but we need a word from the list.
- “Noisy” doesn’t fit — cats aren't typically noisy when looking into boxes.
- “Alone” could make sense — maybe the cat is by itself.
- But “curious” isn’t in the word bank.
- Wait — “noisy” seems odd. Let’s reconsider.
- Actually, “noisy” doesn’t fit. “Alone” might work — a lonely cat?
- But “noisy” is not a good fit. Let's look again.
Wait — perhaps “noisy” is not right. Is there another option?
“Tall” — no, cats aren’t tall.
“Soft” — possible? Not really.
“Fragile”? No.
Hmm. Maybe “noisy” is intended? But a cat looking in a box isn’t necessarily noisy.
Wait — perhaps the answer is “curious”, but that’s not in the word bank.
But “noisy” is in the bank. Maybe it's just poorly worded?
Alternatively, “alone” — “The alone cat…” — sounds awkward.
But “the lonely cat” would be better. Still, “alone” is acceptable.
Wait — maybe “noisy” is not the best.
Let’s consider: Is there a better fit?
Actually, “noisy” doesn’t fit. Perhaps the intended answer is “curious”, but it’s not in the list.
Wait — maybe it's “sharp”? No, that doesn’t fit.
Let’s think again.
Perhaps “noisy” is meant for this? But that doesn’t make sense.
Wait — maybe “quiet”? But not in the list.
Wait — the only words left are: long, new, musical, difficult, noisy, sharp, alone, fragile, soft, tall.
We’ve used: musical, new, fragile, long, sharp, soft.
Left: difficult, noisy, alone, tall
For #7: “The _______ cat was looking in the box.”
Could be “tall”? Unlikely.
“Alone”? Possible — “The alone cat was looking in the box.” Grammatically awkward, but possible.
“Difficult”? Doesn’t make sense.
“Noisy”? Possibly — “The noisy cat was looking in the box.” That could mean it made noise while doing so.
But “looking” implies quiet observation.
So maybe “alone” is the best choice.
Yes — “The alone cat” = the cat was by itself.
That works.
✔ Answer: alone
---
8. The _______ tree stands in the field, all by itself.
- “All by itself” suggests loneliness — but also height.
- “Tall” is a strong possibility — a tall tree standing alone.
- “Alone” is already used, but “tall” fits well.
“Tall” is in the word bank.
Also, “tall” is descriptive of a tree.
✔ Answer: tall
---
9. This is a _______ task. I can’t do it!
- “I can’t do it!” → it must be hard.
- “Difficult” is the perfect word.
✔ Answer: difficult
---
10. My grandmother lives _______.
- “Lives _______” — needs an adverb or adjective?
- But the blank is after “lives”, so it should be an adverb.
- But the word bank has adjectives.
- However, “alone” is an adjective that can follow “lives” — “lives alone” is correct.
“Lives alone” = she lives by herself.
This is a common expression.
✔ Answer: alone
Wait — but we already used “alone” in #7.
But it can be reused unless stated otherwise.
However, let’s check: the word bank allows multiple uses? Usually, yes, unless specified.
But “alone” is used twice — once for the cat, once for the grandmother.
But that’s okay.
Alternatively, could #7 be something else?
Let’s recheck:
#7: “The _______ cat was looking in the box.”
Maybe “noisy”?
“The noisy cat was looking in the box.” — possible, but “looking” suggests quietness.
Alternatively, “curious” — not in list.
Or “soft”? “The soft cat” — possible, but not strong.
But “alone” is still the best fit.
So both #7 and #10 use “alone”.
But maybe that’s allowed.
Wait — perhaps #7 is “noisy”?
But “noisy” means loud — a loud cat looking in a box?
Not ideal.
Alternatively, “fragile”? No.
“Musical”? No.
So “alone” is the best for #7.
And “alone” is also best for #10.
So reuse is acceptable.
