Discussion
Identify the parts of speech of the underlined words in the given sentence :
'He was wild and a little dangerous, subject to moods and impulses'.
Answer: C
Both underlined words are adjectives.
'Wild' and 'dangerous' follow the linking verb 'was' and describe the subject 'He', so they are predicative adjectives. 'A little' modifies 'dangerous', telling us to what degree.
Neither word modifies a verb, so neither is an adverb, and neither names a person, place or thing, so neither is a noun.
