Question

Identify the option that can be used with all of the given words:
Luminous, incandescent, bright, sparkling
A. Face
B. Speech
C. Cloth
D. Lights

Answer 1

Hint: Luminous is an adjective which means something that is bright or emits light. Incandescent means something that emits light as a result of being heated. Bright means something that reflects or emits light, and sparkling means to shine brightly.

Complete answer:
Option A) Face - This is not the correct option because the face can be bright (pertaining to joy) or sparkling (energetic or ecstatic), but cannot emit light on its own (luminous and incandescent). The face cannot be incandescent (enraged), but the person can

Option B) Speech – This option is not correct because A speech can be bright (witty) and sparkling (witty and brilliant), but cannot be luminous or incandescent.

Option C) Cloth – This option is not correct because Cloth can be luminous or bright in terms of colour (fluorescent) and sparkling in terms of glitter and jewels, but cannot be incandescent (emotion).

Option D) Lights – This is the right option because Lights is the only option that can be used with all four of the given words, Option D is correct and the others are not.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note:An adjective refers to a word that is used to describe or modify the qualities of a noun or a pronoun. Example – she sat on a fluffy cushion. Here, fluffy is an adjective that is used to describe the noun, ‘cushion’.
