A proper adjective is a word derived from a proper noun, which means it is capitalized and directly refers to a specific person, place, or thing. To determine if an adjective is a proper adjective, you need to check if it is derived from a proper noun.

In the given options, option C) "painted mural" does not seem to be a proper adjective because it is not derived from a proper noun. However, options A) "modern Mexico," B) "Catholic," and D) "ancient civilization" all have the potential to be proper adjectives.

To determine if they are proper adjectives, you need to check if they are derived from proper nouns. For option A) "modern Mexico," the word "Mexico" is a proper noun, and the word "modern" is derived from it, so it is a proper adjective. Similarly, for option B) "Catholic," "Catholic" is derived from the proper noun "Catholicism," so it is a proper adjective as well. Lastly, for option D) "ancient civilization," "ancient" is not derived from a proper noun but is a common adjective, so it is not a proper adjective.

Thus, the correct answer is "modern Mexico" (option A).
