Choose the option with an error:
A) Silver sandal
B) Black panther
C) Tiger white
D) Red rose

Answer 1

Hint: Adjective order is the order of the cumulative adjectives and the order is quantity, opinion, size, age, color, shape, origin, material and purpose.

Complete answer:
Adjective is a word that modifies a noun or noun phrase. Its important role is to change information by the noun. Here, color adjectives are used in the options and we have to identify the wrong placement of color. Color adjectives are those adjectives that indicate the color.

Option A) Silver sandal – is an incorrect answer because the placement of color is correctly placed i.e. silver sandal. Silver is the color and sandal are the noun. The meaning of sandal is ‘a type of light, open shoe that people wear when the weather is warm’. We place color before nouns. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Black panther - is an incorrect answer because the placement of color is correctly placed i.e. black panther. Black is the color and panther are the noun. The meaning of sandal is ‘a large wild animal of the cat family with black fur.’ We place color before nouns. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Tiger white – is the correct answer because the placement of color is wrong in ‘tiger white’. Tiger is a ‘large wild cat that has yellow fur with black lines stripes.’ So, make this grammatically correct
instead of tiger white it should be white tiger. Thus, this is an error and this is the correct answer.

Option D) Red rose - is an incorrect answer because the placement of color is correctly placed i.e. red rose. Red is the color and rose is the noun. Rose is ‘a flower with a sweet smell, that grows on a bush that usually has sharp points known as thrones growing on it’ We place color before nouns. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘C’.

Note: It is important to understand the question i.e. in question it is asked to identify the error in the options. All the options are grammatically correct because the placement of color is correctly placed i.e. before the noun still, we will consider these options as an incorrect option. However, Option C is the most appropriate answer, the placement of color is wrongly placed i.e. after noun – Tiger white.
