Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence?
His courtroom was surrounded by majestic gardens.
Answer: B
The underlined word 'majestic' is an Adjective.
In 'His courtroom was surrounded by majestic gardens', 'majestic' describes the noun 'gardens', telling what kind of gardens they were. A word that qualifies a noun is an adjective. Its noun form is majesty, and the adverb form would be majestically.
It is not a noun because it does not name anything here, not an adverb because it modifies a noun rather than a verb, and not a conjunction because it joins nothing.
