Step-by-step solution for: Grade 4 & 5 Adjective Worksheets | English | Free Printable
Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to choose an adjective from the box and complete each sentence appropriately.
- Plenty
- Wonderful
- Proud
- Cowardly
- Numerous
- Amazing
- Strength
- Blue
- Distinguished
- Those
- Genius
- Fascinated
- Abundant
- Dry
- Entire
- Brave
Note: Some words like "Plenty," "Those," "Strength," "Entire," and "Dry" are not adjectives (e.g., "Plenty" is a noun or determiner, "Strength" is a noun, "Those" is a pronoun). But in context, we’ll focus on adjective usage. Let’s analyze each sentence carefully.
---
> 1. Why there is an ________ fascination with this movie star?
We need an adjective that describes the type of fascination. Looking at the list, "abundant" fits well:
- "An abundant fascination" means a large amount of fascination.
But let’s check alternatives:
- "Fascinated" is an adjective, but it would be “a fascinated fascination” — incorrect.
- "Numerous" is for countable things; "fascination" is uncountable.
- "Amazing" could work: “an amazing fascination” — possible, but less natural than "abundant".
- "Plenty" isn't an adjective here.
✔ Best choice: Abundant
> Why is there an abundant fascination with this movie star?
(Note: There's a typo — "Why there is" should be "Why is there")
---
> 2. The employees had ________ complaints before the company implemented ________ policies.
We need two adjectives:
- First blank: describe complaints → likely numerous or plenty? But "plenty" isn’t an adjective.
- "Numerous" = many → perfect fit.
- Second blank: describe policies → what kind?
- From the list: brave, blue, dry, wonderful, strength (not adjective), etc.
- "Brave" policies? Not typical.
- "Blue" policies? Unlikely.
- "Wonderful"? Possible, but maybe too vague.
- "Proud"? No.
- "Cowardly"? Maybe — if they were weak policies?
- "Distinguished"? Could mean respected, but odd.
- Wait — "entire"? "Entire policies"? Doesn’t make sense.
- "Dry"? As in "dry policy"? Possibly bureaucratic, but not ideal.
Wait — perhaps "numerous" and "strong"? But "strength" is not an adjective.
Wait — "strength" is a noun. So no.
But look: "amazing"? "Amazing policies"? Possible.
Alternatively, consider "cowardly" policies — if they were weak, maybe.
But better: "numerous" complaints + "brave" policies? That could work.
But let’s think: people had many complaints, so numerous fits.
Then, the company implemented policies — what kind? Perhaps brave or courageous? But "brave" is in the list.
"Brave policies" is awkward.
Wait — "entire"? "Implemented entire policies"? No.
Another idea: "blue"? "Blue policies"? No.
Wait — "dry"? "Dry policies"? Like dry as dust? Bureaucratic?
But perhaps the intended answer is:
- Numerous complaints
- Brave policies?
But that seems odd.
Wait — perhaps "plenty" is used as an adjective? No, it’s not.
Wait — maybe "abundant"? "Abundant complaints"? Yes, possible.
But "numerous" is better.
But both numerous and abundant are available.
Now, second blank: perhaps "wonderful" policies?
That makes sense: "implemented wonderful policies"
So:
> The employees had numerous complaints before the company implemented wonderful policies.
That sounds good.
Or: abundant complaints + amazing policies?
But "abundant complaints" is okay, but "numerous" is more common.
Also, "abundant" is usually used with uncountable nouns — "abundant water", but "complaints" is countable → so numerous is better.
So:
- Numerous complaints
- Wonderful policies
✔ Final:
> The employees had numerous complaints before the company implemented wonderful policies.
---
> 3. "Try not to be said," said the ________ Elizabeth.
This is tricky. "Try not to be said" — that doesn’t make sense.
Wait — probably a typo. Should be:
> "Try not to be said" → likely meant to be "sad"?
Yes! Probably:
> "Try not to be sad," said the ________ Elizabeth.
Now, we need an adjective describing Elizabeth.
From the list: proud, distinguished, brave, fascinated, genius, cowardly, blue, etc.
But "blue" can mean sad — as in "feeling blue".
Ah! "Blue" = sad.
So:
> "Try not to be sad," said the blue Elizabeth.
Perfect.
✔ Answer: Blue
---
> 4. They were a ________ family and heirs to a ________ heritage.
First blank: describe the family → options: distinguished, proud, brave, entire, numerous, etc.
"Distinguished" family — yes, very common.
"Proud" family — also possible.
"Genius" family? Not really.
"Brave" family? Possible, but less common.
Second blank: heritage → what kind?
"Heritage" is often described as rich, amazing, wonderful, abundant, distinguished, entire, etc.
But "entire heritage"? Not quite.
"Abundant heritage"? Possible.
"Amazng heritage"? Yes.
But best fit: distinguished family and distinguished heritage?
But only one "distinguished" in the list.
Wait — "distinguished" is only once.
But look: "entire" — "entire heritage"? Possible.
"Abundant heritage"? Okay.
But "distinguished" is best for family.
For heritage: "distinguished" might be repeated, but we can't use twice.
Alternative: "proud" family and "proud" heritage? No, "proud heritage" is odd.
"Brave" family and "brave" heritage? No.
"Numerous" family? Possible, but not elegant.
"Plenty" — not adjective.
Wait — "amazing" heritage? Yes.
But "amazing" is already used.
Wait — "entire" heritage? "Heirs to an entire heritage"? Sounds odd.
Better: "distinguished" family and "abundant" heritage?
"Abundant heritage" — possible, but not standard.
"Numerous" heritage? No.
Wait — "wonderful" heritage? Yes.
But we used "wonderful" earlier.
Let’s see: the word "entire" — maybe it’s meant to be used?
"Entire heritage" — means complete heritage — possible.
But "distinguished" is stronger.
Wait — another idea: "proud" family and "proud" heritage? Still awkward.
Wait — "distinguished" family and "distinguished" heritage? But only one copy.
No.
Perhaps: "distinguished" family and "abundant" heritage?
"Abundant" is in the list.
"Abundant heritage" = rich heritage — acceptable.
But better: "distinguished" family and "amazing" heritage?
But "amazing" was used.
Wait — "blue"? No.
Wait — "genius"? "A genius family"? No.
Wait — "those"? No.
Wait — "entire"? "A distinguished family and heirs to an entire heritage" — "entire" = whole, complete.
That could work.
But "entire heritage" is acceptable.
But "distinguished" is better for family.
Wait — is there a word missing?
Wait — "proud" family and "proud" heritage? Still odd.
Wait — perhaps "distinguished" and "entire"?
But "entire heritage" is acceptable.
But better: "distinguished" family and "abundant" heritage?
"Abundant" = plentiful, which fits heritage.
But "abundant" is used.
Wait — "numerous" family? "A numerous family" = big family — possible.
But "heirs to a numerous heritage"? No.
"Numerous" applies to countable things.
"Heritage" is uncountable.
So "abundant heritage" is better.
But "abundant" is an adjective — yes.
So:
> They were a distinguished family and heirs to an abundant heritage.
That works.
Alternatively: "proud" family and "amazing" heritage?
But let’s go with distinguished and abundant.
But wait — "abundant" is used in sentence 1.
But we can reuse? The instruction says "choose an adjective from the box" — doesn't say use once only.
So reuse is allowed.
But let’s see if there’s a better fit.
Wait — "entire" — "heirs to an entire heritage" — means they inherited the full heritage — plausible.
But "distinguished" is stronger.
Alternatively: "distinguished" family and "entire" heritage.
That’s possible.
But I think "distinguished" and "abundant" is better.
But let’s look again.
Wait — "entire" is in the list — could be used.
But "abundant" is better for heritage.
Final decision:
> They were a distinguished family and heirs to an abundant heritage.
✔

> 5. Stanley is ________ by her ________ level of intelligence.
First blank: how is Stanley affected? He is fascinated by her intelligence.
"Fascinated" is in the list — yes.
Second blank: describe the level of intelligence → what kind?
"Genius" level? "Genius" is an adjective? Yes, "a genius level" — but usually "genius-level" or "genius".
But "genius" can be used as an adjective: "a genius student".
So "her genius level of intelligence" — a bit awkward.
Better: "her amazing level of intelligence" — yes.
"Her wonderful level" — possible.
"Her abundant level" — no.
"Her plenty level" — no.
"Her numerous level" — no.
"Her entire level" — no.
"Her brave level" — no.
"Her proud level" — no.
"Her distinguished level" — no.
"Her blue level" — no.
So best: amazing or wonderful.
But "amazing" is more natural.
So:
> Stanley is fascinated by her amazing level of intelligence.
Perfect.
