Q: Identify the adjective in the sentence: 'The tall boy ran quickly across the green field.'

The correct answer is B. 'Tall' describes the boy (what kind of boy?) and 'green' describes the field (what kind of field?). Adjectives modify nouns by describing their qualities, size, colour, or quantity. Easy trick: ask 'what kind of?' or 'how many?' about a noun — the answer is the adjective.
