Question

choose whether or not there should be a comma between the bolded adjectives.

your enormous lava lamp was shining in my eyes when i was trying to sleep.

choose 1 answer:

a comma

b no comma

Explanation:

To determine if a comma is needed between "enormous" and "lava", we analyze the adjectives. "Enormous" describes the noun "lava lamp", and "lava" is part of the compound noun "lava lamp" (it functions as a noun acting as an adjective to modify "lamp"). When adjectives are part of a compound noun or when one adjective modifies a noun - adjective combination (where the second "adjective" is actually a noun in a compound), we don't use a comma. Here, "lava" is part of the noun phrase "lava lamp", so "enormous" (describing the entire "lava lamp") and "lava" (part of the noun - based modifier) do not need a comma between them.

Answer:

B. no comma
