Question

Form an adjective from the given noun:
Fortune
A. Fortunous
B. Fortunate
C. Fortunable
D. Fortunic

Answer 1

Hint: An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun. It "describes" or "modifies" a noun (The big dog was hungry). In this example, the adjective is big describing the dog.

Complete step by step answer:
The adjective fortunate comes from the Latin word fortunatus, meaning “prospered,” “prosperous,” “lucky,” or “happy.” Fortunate is related to the word fortune and they have similar meanings, in the sense that those fortunate enough to have a fortune.
A. Fortunous: this option is wrong because this is not a word.
B. Fortunate: Is the correct answer because adjectives can be formed from nouns. So 'fortune' is a noun and adjective can be formed by adding 'ate' at the end of the word and removing 'e' from the word 'fortune'. Thus, this is the correct answer. This refers to being very lucky.
C. Fortunable: is an incorrect answer because it does not follow the rule of adjective and thus this is the incorrect answer.
D. Fortunic: is an incorrect answer because fortunic is not an adjective of fortune. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Adjective of fortune – Fortunate (Option B)

Note:
Adjectives described the noun word in more detail (example: She has a young cat – adjective is young and it gives further information about cat). Adjectives come before the noun word they modify. She was so fortunate to have such a wonderful family and we’re so fortunate, Carmen (here fortune works as an adjective fortunate in the sentence).
