Step-by-step solution for: Adjectives Worksheets
Let's solve this English grammar worksheet step by step.
---
We are given a list of adjectives:
> dangerous, three, square, red, difficult, old, four, dirty, blue, long
We need to fill in the blanks in the sentences using suitable adjectives from this list. Each adjective should be used only once (since there are 10 blanks and 10 words).
---
#### 1. Vinay went for a ________ walk on the beach.
- We need an adjective that describes the walk.
- Possible options: *long*, *difficult*, *dangerous*
- "Long walk" is a common phrase.
✔ Answer: long
#### 2. The ________ man was sick.
- Describing a man who is sick — likely old or weak.
- "Old man" is a natural phrase.
✔ Answer: old
#### 3. The servant cleaned the ________ window.
- A window can be dirty, so cleaning it makes sense.
✔ Answer: dirty
#### 4. An auto rickshaw has ________ wheels.
- Auto rickshaws have three wheels.
✔ Answer: three
#### 5. Have you seen my ________ pencil?
- Pencils can be described by color or shape.
- "Red pencil" or "blue pencil" are possible.
- But "square" is less likely for a pencil (though some are), but "red" or "blue" are more common.
- Let’s hold off — we’ll check later.
Wait — let’s see what’s left after filling others.
So far:
- long (1)
- old (2)
- dirty (3)
- three (4)
Used: long, old, dirty, three
Remaining: dangerous, square, red, difficult, four, blue
Now continue:
#### 6. The sky is ________.
- Sky is usually blue.
✔ Answer: blue
#### 7. ________ turtles swam in the pond.
- Need a number — could be "four" or "three", but "three" already used.
- "Four turtles" is fine.
✔ Answer: four
#### 8. It was a ________ journey.
- Describes the journey — could be *dangerous* or *difficult*.
- Both make sense, but “dangerous journey” is more dramatic.
- “Difficult journey” also fits.
- But let’s keep both options open.
#### 9. I tried to finish a ________ puzzle.
- Puzzles can be difficult or dangerous — but puzzles aren’t dangerous.
- So “difficult puzzle” is correct.
✔ Answer: difficult
Then, for #8, only dangerous remains.
#### 10. The magician has a ________ box.
- Magician’s box — often a magic box, but not in options.
- Could be red, blue, square, dirty, etc.
- But “square box” makes sense — a box has shape.
- “Red box” or “blue box” — possible.
- But “square” is an adjective for shape, and magicians often use boxes with defined shapes.
- Also, “red box” or “blue box” are possible, but let’s check which ones are left.
Now, let’s compile:
Used so far:
1. long
2. old
3. dirty
4. three
6. blue
7. four
9. difficult
8. dangerous
Left: red, square
Available blanks:
- 5. Have you seen my ________ pencil?
- 10. The magician has a ________ box.
Now:
- Pencil: could be red or blue — but blue already used in #6.
- So red is available.
✔ Answer: red (for #5)
Then square goes to #10.
✔ Answer: square (for #10)
