Solution

To identify the adjectives that describe the underlined nouns in the sentence "She holds a red pencil in her right hand," we will analyze each option:

  1. Understanding Adjectives: Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns. In the provided sentence:

    • "red" describes the noun "pencil."
    • "right" describes the noun "hand."
    • "her" is a possessive adjective describing "hand."
  2. Analyzing Options:

    • A. right, hand: "Right" describes "hand," but "hand" itself is not an adjective.
    • B. red, right: "Red" describes "pencil," and "right" describes "hand." Both are adjectives.
    • C. pencil, right: "Pencil" is a noun, not an adjective, so this option is incorrect.
    • D. red, her: "Red" describes "pencil," but "her" is a possessive adjective that modifies "hand," not the noun itself.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B. red, right, as both adjectives describe their respective nouns in the sentence.
