Which word in the sentence is an adjective? The modern Olympics began in Athens, Greece, in 1896. A. Greece B. Athens C. Olympics D. modern

Well, adjectives describe something. In the sentence "I wore the blue shirt" "blue" would be the adjective because it describes the shirt. So, which do you think? :)

c

Not quite. Think, what word describes another word? Does "Greece" describe anything? No. So it's not A. Does "Athens" describe anything? Not really. So it's not B. Does "Olympics" describe anything? No. It's not C. Does "modern" describe anything? Yes, it describes the Olympics! So, D is correct. :)
