Question

Choose the word which can be best described using the below adjective.
Thin
a) eyes
b) lips
c) complexion
d) teeth

Answer 1

Hint: Adjectives are used to describe nouns. They are thus called describing words. A beautiful girl, a hot day, a wet umbrella, etc. Beautiful, hot, and wet are the adjectives. However, we should see that adjective is a word which is appropriate to describe the word. We can say “tasty food” but we cannot say “tasty books”. For books, we can say “informative books” but cannot use “informative” for food.

Complete step by step answer:
The given adjective is “thin”. Let us see if the word can be used to describe the given options.
Option a is eyes. We don’t say “She has thin eyes”. The words thin, thick, fat, etc. cannot be used to describe eyes. This is the wrong answer. We can say “She has sharp eyes”.
Option b is lips. We do say “She got a lip surgery to make her lips fuller because she was always conscious about her thin lips”. So this is the correct answer since the adjective thin is used for lips.
Option c is complexion. Using thin to describe a complexion is incorrect. Complexion can be fair, dark or wheatish. Complexion cannot be thin, fat, etc. This is an incorrect answer.
Option d is teeth. We don’t describe someone’s teeth as thin. Teeth can be brittle but not thin. Teeth can also be white, beautiful, yellow, crooked. Thin is a wrong adjective to be used for teeth. Thus, this is also the wrong answer.
Thus, the correct option is b.

Note:
Use the given word before the given options and see which is the perfect match. Try to analyze if this is really the adjective used. Though some people do say that someone has thin eyes, that is usually colloquial and wrong. Thin lips is a better answer.
