Question

Choose the correct adjective formed from the noun given below:
Stick

• A. Stiff
• B. Sticky
• C. Sticking
• D. Stuck

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

STICK - 'Stick' is a noun which means 'a thin peace of wood or other material'. For example, 'She had a wooden stick at her home.'

'Stick' is also a verb, which means 'push into/paste' For example, 'He stuck the needle into his fingers'.

Option A - 'Stiff' is an adjective which means 'firm and hard'. However, 'stiff' is not a noun form of 'stick'. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'Sticking' is the participle form of the verb 'stick.' As we need the adjective form of 'stick' we can't used 'sticking' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Stuck' is the past form of the verb 'stick'. We need an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option B - 'Sticky' is the adjective form of 'stick'. For example, 'The floor is still sticky.' Hence, option B is the correct answer.
