What is the adjective in the following sentence: "The slithery serpent
slithered silently."

Explanation:

First, remember what an adjective is.  An adjective describes a noun.

Let's examine the sentence.

The slithery serpent slithered .

Slithery describes the serpent.

Serpent is the noun (person, place, thing, or idea).

Slithered is the verb or action.

is the adverb. It describes the verb. (How did the serpent slither? It slithered silently).

Since slithery describes the noun, it is the adjective.

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
