Question

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
What is the price of this fancy dress pink?

A.

What is the

B.

fancy dress pink?

C.

No error

D.

price of this

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
The error lies in the incorrect word order.
The correct noun phrase should be “this pink fancy dress” instead of “this fancy dress pink”.
In English, when multiple adjectives are used, there is a typical order of adjectives followed— opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose + noun.
Here, “fancy” is an opinion adjective and “pink” is a color adjective.
Hence, “pink” should come after “fancy” only if it modifies "dress" directly, i.e., “pink fancy dress” is the correct phrase.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Order of adjectives:
Opinion – fancy > Size – small, big > Age – old, new > Shape – round, square > Color – red, pink > Origin – Indian, Chinese > Material – cotton, woollen > Purpose – running (shoes), writing (desk) > Noun – main object
�� Example: I bought a beautiful long red silk scarf. (opinion + size + color + material + noun)
