Question

Form an adjective form the given noun:
Influence
A) Influencer
B) Influenceful
C) Influential
D) Influencive

Answer 1

Hint:Suffixes are the words that are placed after the stem of the word. And the suffixes are: ‘ly’ or ‘ness’ or ‘ment’ or ‘or’ or ‘ion’ and etc. So, for converting nouns into adjective suffixes plays an important role.

Complete answer:
The meaning of influence is ‘the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself or impact or power, control, hold or effect’.
Option A) Influencer – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of influencer is ‘a person or thing that influences another’ and influencer is a noun. So, this option cannot be an adjective form of the influence. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Influenceful – is an incorrect answer because this word ‘influenceful’ does not exist in English language. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Influential – is the correct answer because suffix ‘– ial’ is used after the stem word. And the meaning of influential is ‘having great influence on someone or something or powerful, dominant, controlling’. And the word influential is an adjective. So, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Influencive - is an incorrect answer because this word ‘influencive’ does not exist in English language. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:There is one rule while converting nouns into an adjective and that is suffix. Suffix as we know is placed before the root word. So, the suffix – ‘ial’ is used to convert a noun into an adjective. Thus, option C is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option.
