Answer 1

Hint: A complete sentence must have, at least, three things: a subject, verb, and an object. The subject is basically a noun or a pronoun. And, if there's a subject, there are required to be a verb because all verbs need a subject.

Complete answer:
An Adjective is a word that modifies a noun or noun phrase or explains its referent. Its semantic role is to change information given by the noun. The adjective of nationality "Chinese" is an advantage as it qualifies the noun "descent", hence it should be placed before.

The words 'I'm a drop of Chinese' are linguistically incorrect in the given sentence; there is no article before 'plunge' and 'Chinese.' (When a modifier isn't followed by an item, it usually functions as the thing: the wealthy, the bad, the Chinese.) When all is said and done, the article 'the' is practically put before the modifier.)

Let us analyze the given options
Also, the underlined adjective does not change the thing; rather, it changes its capabilities as the object of the relational word 'of.' As a result, option (A) is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect since the adjective does not follow the thing it modifies, "drop Chinese," but rather comes before it (as a rule).
Option C has the correct modifier condition, "Chinese" replaces "fall." This is the most appropriate way to use the adjective before the word "plummet." As a result, (C) is right.
Option (D) is incorrect because the adjective is positioned before the relational word 'of' rather than before the thing.

Note: Both adjectives and nouns belong to the eight parts of speech. Nouns can be said as names for people, places, things, and ideas, while adjectives are usually words used to explain these nouns. Noun is a word that identifies a person, place, object or idea. Adjective is a word that modifies a noun.
