     (This question has multiple correct answers)

b)little
c)nose
d)has

Answer 1

Hint: To identify the descriptive adjective, one needs to understand its meaning.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Here, a pedlar is a person who goes from place to place selling small things. Now, we need to identify the adjective of quality. The adjectives that describe the character of a noun or show the quality of nouns or pronouns are called Adjective of Quality.

Option a, “crooked” means bent or twisted, which clearly is describing the noun nose. Option a is one of the correct answers.

 Option b, “little” is also describing the noun pedlar, hence it is also describing adjective, and it is also one of the correct options.

Now, option c, “nose” is a noun, so it cannot be a descriptive adjective, it is an incorrect option.

 Option d, “has” is a verb, it also is an incorrect option for the same reason as option c.


Note: Since there are more than one correct answer, one must be careful while selecting the answers, one must know the precise meaning of the given words, as well as what an adjective of quality is.
