Question

Which sentence contains coordinate adjectives that should be separated by commas? A) The tiny brown dog was just adorable. B) Cannon cannot lift the big wooden table all by himself. C) Aunt Louise makes sweet sticky cinnamon buns every Sunday. Eliminate D) The shattered bathroom mirror will be expensive to replace.

Answer 1

The sentence that contains coordinate adjectives that should be separated by commas is:

A) The tiny brown dog was just adorable.

In this sentence, "tiny" and "brown" are coordinate adjectives describing the noun "dog." Since they independently modify the noun and their order can be reversed (e.g., "brown tiny dog"), they should be separated by a comma.

So it should read: "The tiny, brown dog was just adorable."
