OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Adjective is the word that describes something don't you think special describes it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if you take b out of the sentence it is Julia uses to carve pieces of wood.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

For A. Because there are times when a noun is used as an adjective, "refrigerator doors" where refrigerator is an adjective. So here is also "pieces of wood" means "wooden pieces" where "of wood" is an adjective. there is an adjective in C too. as a adjectival phrase C and A should both fit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it doesn't say you have to take the word out it just asks which one is the adjective

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

BUT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will go with a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(was waiting for a reaction) the head/ the main word of an adjectival phrase has to be an adjective where do you see this in A or C? in A right? because in C, the main word is "tools".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is a?
