Hint:Adjectives are the words that are placed before a noun in a sentence and describe the noun. In this sentence, we must begin by finding the noun.

Complete answer:
We know that the Adjectives that are placed right before the noun/noun phrase it modifies are known as ‘attributive adjectives’. The sentence given to us in the question is ‘ The girl gave out a scream’.
Now, we know that the noun in the sentence is ‘scream’. So we need to find a sentence from the given flour alternatives, which has the suitable adjective placed before the noun.
Reading the four option, we see that the adjective which has been used is ‘bloodcurdling’

Looking at the first option ‘a’, we see that since the adjective is placed right before the noun of the sentence, this is the correct alternative.
Moving on to option b, we see that the attributive adjective is placed immediately after the noun, which makes the sentence invalid as the sentence is no longer deciphering a relevant meaning. So, option b is wrong.
In option c, the adjective is used at the very beginning of the sentence, hence this is also the incorrect alternative.
Since option ‘a’ is the correct answer, option d stands null and void.
Therefore, the option ‘a’ is the correct answer for the given question.

Note:
Even though we found our answer in the very first alternative, we must go through all the four options, one by one, and not jump to conclusions.
