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," "Dry," and "Entire" 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 options:
- "Fascinated" is an adjective, but it would be used for people ("She was fascinated"), not for "fascination".
- "Amazing", "Wonderful", "Numerous", "Abundant" — these could describe *amount* or *quality*.
But “an amazing fascination” sounds odd.
“An abundant fascination”? Possible, but awkward.
“An entire fascination”? Doesn’t make sense.
Wait — maybe the word is "abundant", meaning *large amount*:
→ "Why is there an abundant fascination with this movie star?" — This works.
Alternatively, "numerous"? No — "numerous fascination" is incorrect because "fascination" is uncountable.
So best choice: "abundant" → *an abundant fascination*.
✔ Answer: abundant
---
> 2. The employees had ________ complaints before the company implemented ________ policies.
First blank: type of complaints → likely numerous (many) or plenty (but "plenty" is not typically used as an adjective; we say "plenty of complaints"). So numerous fits well.
Second blank: kind of policies → what kind?
Possibilities: brave, proud, distinguished, wonderful, amazing, blue, etc.
But "brave policies"? Unusual.
"Proud policies"? No.
"Distinguished policies"? Maybe, but rare.
"Blue policies"? No.
"Amazing policies"? Yes, possible.
"Wonderful policies"? Also possible.
But consider: if they had many complaints, then the company implemented new policies — perhaps brave (bold), courageous? But "brave" isn't really used for policies.
Wait — "dry"? "Dry policies"? Not likely.
Better: "strength" — no, it's a noun.
Wait — "entire"? "entire policies"? No.
Another idea: maybe "blue"? As in "blue laws"? But that’s specific.
Alternatively, maybe "cowardly"? But that doesn’t fit.
Wait — perhaps the second blank is "brave" — bold, courageous actions.
But let’s look again.
What about "numerous" for first blank, and "strong"? But "strength" is not an adjective.
Wait — is "strength" being used as an adjective? No.
Maybe the intended answer is:
- numerous complaints
- brave policies? Or distinguished?
But better: "dry"? No.
Wait — another possibility: "blue" might refer to "blue-collar" or "blue blood"? But not clear.
Perhaps the intended answer is:
- numerous complaints
- wonderful policies
But let’s think: after complaints, company implements good policies.
So "wonderful" or "amazing" could work.
But here's a better one: "entire" — "implemented entire policies"? No.
Wait — perhaps the second blank is "brave" — meaning bold, courageous changes.
But still weak.
Alternative: maybe "distinguished" — but "distinguished policies"? Not common.
Wait — perhaps "abundant"? "Abundant policies"? No.
Wait — let’s reconsider: maybe the second blank is "strength"? But it's a noun.
Unless it's a typo — but probably not.
Wait — perhaps the word "those"? "implemented those policies"? But "those" is a pronoun, not an adjective.
No.
Wait — maybe "plenty"? "plenty of policies"? But we need an adjective.
Hmm.
Let’s try:
"The employees had numerous complaints before the company implemented brave policies."
Still awkward.
Wait — perhaps the intended answer is:
- numerous complaints
- blue policies? No.
Wait — another idea: "entire" — "implemented entire policies"? No.
Wait — perhaps the second blank is "strong" — but "strength" is not an adjective.
Wait — maybe "brave" is meant for the first blank? But "brave complaints"? No.
Wait — perhaps the word "fascinated"? But it’s not suitable.
Wait — maybe "dry"? "dry complaints"? Like dull? But not fitting.
Let’s look at the word list again:
We have: Plenty, Wonderful, Proud, Cowardly, Numerous, Amazing, Strength, Blue, Distinguished, Those, Genius, Fascinated, Abundant, Dry, Entire, Brave
Now — “entire” can be an adjective — “entire policies” means complete policies.
But “implemented entire policies” — okay, but vague.
But “numerous complaints” and “entire policies” — possible.
But better: “numerous” and “brave”?
Wait — what if the second blank is “brave” — meaning courageous, bold reforms?
Yes — “brave policies” = bold, daring policies.
So:
“The employees had numerous complaints before the company implemented brave policies.”
That makes sense.
Alternatively: “amazing” or “wonderful”.
But “brave” is more unique and fits the contrast.
Also, “brave” is in the list.
So likely:
✔ Answer: numerous, brave
---
> 3. "Try not to be said," said the ________ Elizabeth.
This is a bit tricky.
“Try not to be said” — probably a typo? Should be “Try not to be sad”?
Ah! Likely: "Try not to be sad," said the ________ Elizabeth.
Then, what kind of Elizabeth? A proud Elizabeth? Brave? Distinguished? Cowardly?
If she says “try not to be sad,” she’s encouraging someone — so she might be proud, brave, distinguished.
But “the proud Elizabeth” — possible.
“the brave Elizabeth” — also possible.
But wait — “cowardly” would contradict.
“fascinated”? No.
“genius”? “the genius Elizabeth” — possible, but not descriptive of personality.
Wait — “distinguished” — yes, noble, respected.
But “proud” fits well.
But “proud” person might be saying that.
But “brave” — more about courage.
Wait — perhaps “proud” is best.
But let’s see: “the proud Elizabeth” — sounds fine.
Alternatively, “the distinguished Elizabeth”.
But “proud” is simpler.
Wait — another thought: maybe “brave” — she’s bravely trying to comfort someone.
But “proud” is more likely.
Wait — perhaps “fascinated”? No.
Wait — “cowardly”? Then she wouldn’t say “try not to be sad” — she’d be sad herself.
So not cowardly.
So best: proud or distinguished.
But “proud” is more common.
Wait — another idea: “the genius Elizabeth” — but “genius” is a noun, not an adjective.
But “a genius” is correct, but “the genius Elizabeth” is odd.
“the distinguished Elizabeth” — formal, good.
But “the proud Elizabeth” — also good.
But let’s check: “Try not to be sad,” said the proud Elizabeth.
Makes sense — proud person encouraging others.
Alternatively: distinguished.
But “proud” is in the list and fits.
✔ Answer: proud

> 4. They were a ________ family and heirs to a ________ heritage.
First blank: describe the family — distinguished, proud, brave, amazing, wonderful, numerous, abundant, entire, blue?
“a distinguished family” — yes, common phrase.
“a proud family” — yes.
“a brave family” — possible.
“a blue family”? No.
“a dry family”? No.
Best: distinguished.
Second blank: “a ________ heritage”
“a distinguished heritage”? Yes.
“a proud heritage”? Yes.
“a blue heritage”? No.
“a wonderful heritage”? Yes.
But “distinguished” fits both.
“a distinguished family and heirs to a distinguished heritage” — redundant?
But acceptable.
“a proud family and heirs to a proud heritage” — also possible.
But “distinguished” is more formal and elegant.
“a blue heritage”? No.
“a genius heritage”? No — “genius” is not an adjective.
Wait — “a brave heritage”? No.
“a wonderful heritage”? Yes.
But “distinguished” is better.
Also, “a numerous heritage”? No.
“a plenty heritage”? No.
So best: distinguished and distinguished?
But maybe different.
Wait — “a proud family and heirs to a wonderful heritage”?
But “wonderful heritage” — okay.
But “distinguished” is more precise.
Alternatively: “distinguished” and “abundant”?
“abundant heritage”? Meaning rich in tradition? Possible.
But “distinguished” is better.
Wait — another option: “blue” — as in “blue-blooded”? “blue heritage”?
Yes — “blue-blooded” means aristocratic.
So “a blue heritage” — could mean noble lineage.
And “a distinguished family” — matches.
So: “They were a distinguished family and heirs to a blue heritage.”
That works!
Because “blue” can mean aristocratic (like “blue blood”).
And “distinguished” = respected, notable.
So:
✔ Answer: distinguished, blue

> 5. Stanley is ________ by her ________ level of intelligence.
First blank: how is Stanley affected?
“Stanley is ________ by her ________ level of intelligence.”
He is fascinated, amazed, impressed, etc.
From the list: fascinated, amazed, wonderful, amazing, etc.
“Stanley is fascinated by her ________ level of intelligence.” — perfect.
“Stanley is amazed by her ________ level of intelligence.” — also good.
But “fascinated” is in the list.
Second blank: describe the level of intelligence — amazing, wonderful, genius, abundant, plenty, numerous, etc.
“her amazing level of intelligence” — yes.
“her wonderful level” — okay.
“her genius level” — “genius” is a noun, but “genius level” is acceptable, though informal.
But “amazing” is best.
“her abundant level” — okay, but “abundant intelligence” is better.
“her plenty level” — no.
So best: fascinated and amazing.
✔ Answer: fascinated, amazing

- Some sentences may have slight grammatical issues (e.g., "Why there is" should be "Why is there").
- "Blue" as in "blue blood" is a valid use.
- "Fascinated" and "amazing" are strong choices for sentence 5.
- "Brave" policies imply courageous or bold decisions, which contrasts with complaints — logical.
