Question

Find out the adjective in the following sentence.
Only a meticulous investigation could reveal the hidden conspiracy

• A. only
• B. reveal
• C. conspiracy
• D. meticulous

Hint:

To identify an adjective, locate the nouns in the sentence first ("investigation", "conspiracy").
Then, look for the words preceding them that describe their qualities ("meticulous" investigation, "hidden" conspiracy).
This makes finding adjectives very straightforward.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Recall what an adjective does.
An adjective describes or modifies a noun, giving more information about its quality, quantity, or kind.
Step 2: Analyze each option.
Only functions here as an adverb. Reveal is a verb. Conspiracy is a noun. Meticulous directly describes the noun investigation, telling us what kind of investigation it is.
Step 3: Confirm.
Ask yourself: what kind of investigation? A meticulous one. This question-answer test confirms that meticulous is an adjective in this sentence.
\[ \boxed{\text{meticulous}} \]
