Discussion
Identify the underlined words in the given sentence :
The lack of solid fuel in the shape of wood is not a problem for the Tibetans.
Answer: C
Both underlined words are nouns.
Lack here names a thing, the absence of solid fuel; it follows the article the and is the head of the subject noun phrase. Shape also follows the and is the object of the preposition in, naming the form of the fuel.
Both words can be verbs in other sentences ('they lack fuel', 'to shape wood'), which is the trap in the last option, but in this sentence each is preceded by the and functions as a noun. Neither describes another noun, so neither is an adjective.
