You're welcome! I'd be happy to help you diagram the adjective modifiers in your sentence, but as an AI text-based bot, I'm unable to directly view or manipulate visual representations like diagrams. However, I can explain how you can identify and assign roles to the adjective modifiers in your sentence.
In the sentence "Leanna vacuumed the living room and dusted the knicknaks on the piano," we have two main actions performed by Leanna: vacuumed and dusted.
First, let's identify the adjective modifiers:
1. "the living room" modifies the verb "vacuumed." It specifies the place where the action of vacuuming occurred. "The" is an article, and "living room" is a noun phrase functioning as an adjectival modifier.
2. "the knicknaks on the piano" modifies the verb "dusted." It specifies the objects that were acted upon. "The" is an article, and "knicknaks" and "piano" are both noun phrases functioning as adjectival modifiers.
To diagram these adjectival modifiers, you can draw horizontal lines from the corresponding main verb (vacuumed and dusted) and label them with the modifiers. Then, you can connect the modifiers to the words they modify using additional lines or arrows.
