Preview: Explanations
1."blue"(a)
'Blue' is an adjective that describes the noun 'sky'. 'Quickly' is an adverb, 'always' is an adverb of frequency, and 'very' is an intensifier — none of them describe a noun.
2."beautiful"(b)
'Beautiful' is the adjective form. 'Beauty' is a noun, 'beautifully' is an adverb, and 'beautify' is a verb.
3."tired"(d)
'Tired' is the adjective describing how the children feel. 'Tiredly' is an adverb, 'tiring' describes things that cause tiredness, and 'tire' is a verb.
4."small"(a)
'Small' is the adjective describing the house. 'Smallness' and 'size' are nouns, and 'shortly' is an adverb meaning 'soon'.
5."delicious"(b)
After the linking verb 'tastes', we use an adjective, not an adverb. 'Delicious' describes the soup. 'Deliciously' is an adverb, and 'deliciousness' is a noun.
