Question

Which word in the sentence is an adjective? The Alaskan salmon was the highlight of the meal.

Answer 1

Alright, so to review, an adjective is a word describing a person place or thing, so with that in mind:
"The Alaskan salmon was the highlight of the meal."
Salmon is the subject, (Alaskan is a proper adjective, so I'm assuming the question wants a plain adjective), and the verb is "was". So ask yourself, "What WAS the salmon?" It was the "highlight" of the meal. So your answer should be highlight!
