Which sentence uses an adjective to enrich its meaning?

English
2 answers:
saw5 [17]3 years ago

Correct answer:

The sentence which uses an adjective to enrich its meaning is:

The wrinkly elephant lumbered to its water trough.

The adjective used is wrinkly, and it enriches the meaning of the sentence because it gives us more information about the elephant, inviting our imagination to draw this special, perhaps older elephant in our minds.

Wrinkly as an adjective means "very wrinkled" or with a lot of wrinkles; so this word is definitely qualifying the elephant.

We know that elephants usually walk clumsily (lumber), and that they all have wrinkled skins, still, the use of an adjective enhances the idea. If we compare the chosen answer among the other three examples, we can definitely note that there is a great difference between "The elephant", and "The wrinkly elephant".

What was the significance of the presidential election 1876
Kisachek [45]
The presidential election of 1876 led to the end of Reconstruction. Samuel Tilden outpolled Rutherford Hayes to win the popular vote. Tilden had 184 electoral votes to Hayes' 165 and 20 votes were uncounted. These 20 electoral votes were in dispute: in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina. Each party reported its candidate had won the state, while in Oregon one elector was declared illegal and replaced. The 20 disputed electoral votes were eventually awarded to Hayes after a bitter legal and political battle. This gave Hayes the victory.
