Question

grammar and punctuation unit test
which sentence contains coordinate adjectives? (1 point)
○ mr tanner is my sister’s seventh - grade science teacher at windsor middle school
○ mr. tanner is a new science teacher at windsor middle school
○ mr. tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher
○ mr tanner is an amazing seventh - grade science teacher

Explanation:

To determine which sentence has coordinate adjectives, we recall that coordinate adjectives are adjectives that modify the same noun independently and can be separated by "and" or a comma.

• In "Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher", "inspiring", "smart", and "energetic" all modify "science teacher" and are independent (we can say "inspiring and smart and energetic"). The other options have adjectives that are not coordinate: "seventh - grade" is a compound adjective, "new" is a single adjective, and "amazing" and "seventh - grade" are not coordinate (seventh - grade is a specific type, not a coordinate adjective with amazing).

Answer:

Mr. Tanner is an inspiring, smart, energetic science teacher
