Feedback It is very unusual to have more than three adjectives in front of a noun. But if it is so, the most usual sequence of adjectives is the following: 1. general opinion (good, bad, lovely, strange, nice, important,etc.), 2. specific opinion (a) food: tasty; delicious; (b) furniture, buildings: comfortable; uncomfortable;(c) people, animals: clever; friendly), 3. size (big, tall), 4. physical quality (thin, rough, untidy), 5. shape (round, square), 6. age (old, babyish), 7. colour (green, pastel), 8. origin (Japanese, northern), 9. material(metal, wood, plastic), 10. type (general-purpose, U-shaped, bedroom, four-sided), 11. purpose (folding, swinging, work, racing).Therefore, in the test sentence ‘Chris found a _______ _______ ________ (cute/little/grey) kitten.’ we should choose ANSWER 3: a cute (1. general opinion) little (3. size) grey (7. colour) kitten.
D. grey cute little
