D. The, rays, the, sun, the, waters, the, and lake
my answer is b.
Correct.
Your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is C.
To identify the words used as adjectives in the sentence, you need to understand what an adjective is. An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun.
In the given sentence, the words "golden," "clear," and "calm" are adjectives because they are describing or modifying the nouns they are attached to. The word "golden" is describing the noun "rays," "clear" is describing the noun "waters," and "calm" is describing the noun "lake."
The other words in the sentence such as "the," "of," "in," and "the" are not used as adjectives. "The" is an article, "of" and "in" are prepositions, and the second "the" is an article again. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
