3. He has an ______ car in his garage.


Adjectives: *rusty, old*
- Opinion: rusty (can be opinion or condition)
- Size: none
- Shape: none
- Age: old
- Color: none
- Nationality: none
- Material: none

Order: Opinion → Age
old rusty car? Wait — actually, "rusty" is more about condition/quality, so it might come before age?

But standard rule: Opinion → Age → Condition → Size → Shape → Color → Nationality → Material

Wait! Let's clarify:
- "Rusty" is a condition, which comes after age and before size.

But here we only have:
- Old = age
- Rusty = condition

So: age → condition
old rusty car

Answer: He has an old rusty car in his garage.

> But note: "rusty" is often treated as a descriptive quality that can go before or after age depending on context. However, "old" comes before "rusty" because age precedes condition in adjective order.

✔️ Correct: old rusty
