Answers

Ms. Sue
<b>Your first and second answers are correct.</b>

3. Other explorers, restless and eager, sought freedom. Noun=explorers Adj=freedom
<b>Your noun is correct, but restless and eager are the adjectives that describe it. Freedom is also a noun, but doesn't have any modifiers in this sentence.</b>

4. <b>They is a pronoun, not a noun. You're right about one of the adjectives, but missed the second adjective.</b>

5. <b>Half right. There's another noun modified by two adjectives.</b>

6. Hunger and weariness defeated numerous travelers. Noun travelers Adj=hunger,weariness

<b> Your noun is correct, but your adjective is not. Note that hunger and weariness are also nouns -- and act as the subjects of this sentence.</b>

7. <b>Correct</b>

8. <b>You missed two nouns -- but they don't have modifiers.</b>

9. <b>One noun is correct. You missed its adjectives. This sentence has another noun and modifier.</b>

10. <b>Correct. Note that those is also an adjective.</b>
