In which sentence is the italicized word an adjective.
A. Evening bats feed GREEDILY on insects.
B. They appear in the sky just AFTER sunset.
C. These bats are among the SMALLEST of the spacies.
D. Their fingers RESEMBLE those of human hands.
The answer is SMALLEST, I took the test.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun. An adverb describes a verb. So, for eample, bats feed GREEDILY, GREEDILY is an adverb describing how bats FEED, the verb. Can you find an adjective?
The answer is SMALLEST?

To determine which sentence contains an italicized adjective, we can look for a word that describes or gives more information about a noun. Let's examine each sentence:
A. "Evening bats feed GREEDILY on insects." In this sentence, the word "greedily" is an adverb, not an adjective, as it describes how the bats feed, not what they are.
B. "They appear in the sky just AFTER sunset." The word "after" is a preposition, not an adjective, as it indicates the time when the bats appear.
C. "These bats are among the SMALLEST of the species." The word "smallest" is indeed an adjective as it describes the size of the bats.
D. "Their fingers RESEMBLE those of human hands." The word "resemble" is a verb, not an adjective, as it shows an action rather than describing a noun.
Therefore, the sentence in which the italicized word is an adjective is C. "These bats are among the SMALLEST of the species."
None of the capitalized words is an adjective.
GREEDILY - adv
AFTER = preposition
SMALLEST - noun
RESEMBLE - verb
