Question

Identify the adjective form of the word in the bracket to complete the sentence:
My aim to reach the Mount Everest is ________________. (Achieve)
A. Achievement
B. Achievable
C. Achievability
D. Achieveity

Answer 1

Hint: Adjectives by definition are words that add meaning to nouns, they help define the nature of the noun. In a few cases, adjectives are formed with their base words as nouns or verbs.

Complete step by step answer:
Let’s use the given options and form a complete sentence to understand which word best fits the sentence.
Option A – Achievement: My aim to reach Mount Everest is achievement.
This option is a noun to begin with, there is already a noun in the sentence that needs an adjective to give it complete meaning. However, it is not seen if we use the word ‘achievement’ hence this is not the right answer.
Option B – Achievable: My aim to reach Mount Everest is achievable.
 This word suggests that the aim (noun) that the person has to reach Mount Everest is achievable (adjective), which means it is possible. This word gives complete meaning to the sentence, so this is the correct answer.
Option C – Achievability: My aim to reach Mount Everest is achievability.
This term stands to be a noun again and as we saw earlier, it does not help give the sentence a complete meaning. Hence this is not the right answer.
Option D – Achieveity: This is not a valid word; hence we can rule it out with conviction.

The answer is option (B)

Note:
It is easy to confuse options A and B because achievement is sometimes considered an adjective, but in the given case it needs to be preceded by an article and the article is missing, hence it is incorrect.
