Solution:
#### Step 1: Identify Adjectives in the Word Bank
Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns and provide more information about their qualities, states, or actions. From the word bank, the adjectives are:
-
yellow
-
dusty
-
deep
-
slow
-
kind
-
scary
-
hard
-
cute
-
broken
Other words like "rip," "bounce," "mark," "jar," "sunglasses," and "flat" are not adjectives; they are verbs or nouns.
