Question

Choose the correct adjective formed from the noun given below:
Breeze
A) Breezed
B) Sea breeze
C) Breezy
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: A noun or a pronoun is defined by an adjective. Nouns are terms that refer to a specific location, person, object, or concept. The adjective is frequently placed before the noun it represents. Adjectives include words like "old," "green," and "joyous."
For example, We live in a beautiful house. Here the adjective is ‘beautiful’.

Complete answer:
An adjective is a term that modifies or represents the referent of a noun or noun phrase. Its semantic function is to alter the information provided by the noun. A breeze is a gentle, cool breeze. The word 'breeze' is a noun that means 'a light and fun breeze.' 'The cool breeze caressed my face,' for example.

Now, let us look at the given options:
Option A. Breezed: This option is incorrect because 'breezed' is a verb form, which means 'to walk somewhere quickly/ easily.' 'He breezed in and danced for us,' for example.
Option B. Sea breeze: This option is incorrect because 'Sea breeze' is a noun that refers to a cool and friendly wind that blows from the sea to the surface.
Option C. Breezy: This is the correct option. The adjective form of 'breeze' is 'breezy.' 'It was a very breezy day,' for example.
Option D. None of the above: This option is incorrect because Option C. is the correct answer.

Thus, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: In certain cases, adjectives come before their antecedent (the word they modify). They can, however, appear elsewhere in the sentence. This is particularly true after verbs like "be, seem, get, become," and "appear," as well as verbs that define the senses like "feel, taste, look, sound," and "smell":

Adjectives are usually placed before the word they modify (noun or pronoun)
If the verbs "be," "seem," "have," "become," or "appear," the adjective comes after them.
The adjective is often used after verbs that convey sensory experience (sense verbs), such as ‘feel, taste, look, sound, and smell.'
