ENG 11 Grammar: 17.3 Adjectives (p. 12)

Exercise 1: Identify the adjective(s) that modify the underlined noun or pronoun. If there are not any adjectives for the given noun or pronoun, select "NONE."

1. Insects seem as indestructible as they are innumerable. Most experts say that one reason for this is their ability to adapt to different environments. Some insects can live in icebound streams while others prefer hot springs that may reach 50°C. Their small size also accounts for their continued survival. Some North American insects measure one one-hundredth of an inch, and that size makes them hard to see and even harder to exterminate. But their amazing power to reproduce probably contributes most to their durability. Generally, these prolific creatures can reproduce several times during one season. Many lay enormous numbers of eggs. Few can surpass a fertile queen termite, which may lay 30,000 eggs in a single twenty-four-hour period.
