Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) uses a fine humor style which is easily detected in extracts like:

"Thish-yer Smiley had a mare; the boys called the fifteen minute nag(...) for all she was so slow and always had the asthma, or the distemper or the consumption, or something of that kind."

"...And he had a little small bull pup, that to look at him you´d think he warn´t worth a cent(...) his underjaw´d begin to stick out like the fo´castle of a steamboat..."

"...He ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal´klated to edercate him(...) and you bet you he did learn him, too.

Twain is satirizing several aspects of American life, but specially the country "punks" who tend to speak at length about subjects that are close to them but are really unimportant an nonsensical.

Which words are the adjectives in the following sentence?The play is about earning genuine respect and reaching admirable goals.

Andre45 [30]

The words in the sentence "The play is about earning genuine respect and reaching admirable goals" which are adjectives are:

The, genuine and admirable.

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun by giving it a quality.

In English, adjectives are placed before the word they modify.

Examples of adjectives are: beautiful, smart, big, short, long, colorful, strange, etc.

In the sentence "The play is about earning genuine respect and reaching admirable goals," there are three adjectives.

The first is "genuine", and it modifies the noun "respect". The second is "admirable", and it modifies the noun "goals".

Now, the word "the" is usually described as a definite article. However, since it can help specify a noun, modifying it, it is also considered an adjective.

For that reason, "the" is included in the list as the third adjective.
