Answer 1

Hint: An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun in a sentence. The adjective in the above-given statement is ‘Huge’.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 As you must have read in the hint, an adjective is used to describe a noun or a pronoun.
Based on the above statement-
Subject= We
Adjective= Huge
Noun/Object= House
So, we know that ‘we’ in the above statement are describing the noun, ‘house’ as ‘huge’.
Let’s examine the given options to find the kind of adjective used:
        a) Adjective of Origin- It is used to describe the place or origin; a person or a thing comes from.
Example- Indian boy, Canadian goose.
       b) Adjective of Substance- It tells us the material of the noun.
Example- Cotton shirt, Wooden table
       c) Adjective of Quality- It describes the nature and quality of a person or thing.
Example- Tallboy, Sweet apple
       d) Adjective of Number- It tells the number or position of a noun.
Example- First book, six pens
The adjective of quality describes the color, shape, size, smell, taste, etc of a noun or a pronoun. So, we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C- Adjective of Quality.
