Answer 1

Hint: Adjectives are those words that describe some traits of a noun or pronoun. Some examples of adjectives are – fast, fun, slow, hot, red, sweet etc. So, here you need to find the noun (s) which can be described by the adjective - ‘protruding’.

Complete solution: Now first of all let us understand the meaning of the adjective – 'protruding'.
What does the word mean?
Well, ‘protruding’ is a word that means 'sticking out' or 'projecting'.
What does it tell us? Well, they are those things that can be projected or that which can stand out; in our body, we can project parts (or make them stand out from the rest of the body) like – eyes, teeth, lips, cheeks etc.
Therefore, you must understand that this adjective will be mostly used along with the following nouns: 'eyes', 'teeth', 'lips', and 'stomach' (as we can make them stand out from the rest of the body by using makeup or accessories etc.).

Hence, this indicates that the options a, b and c are correct.

But what about the word, 'hair'. Well, it cannot be described using the adjective 'protruding'. The adjectives that can be used with 'hair' are – luxuriant, glossy, bouncy, untidy, and disheveled.

 Note: If you are not sure, try looking at yourself or someone else and make out what things are projected out or what stands out in your (or a) face.
