Choose the erroneous underlying segment or option D if no error:

He carried his clothes (a) in a black heavy (b) steel trunk (c).

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

Remember OSASCOMP: Opinion → Size → Age → Shape → Color → Origin → Material → Purpose. Place adjectives in this order for natural English.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Order of adjectives rule.
When two or more adjectives are used, they should follow a general order: Opinion/quality → size → age → shape → color → origin → material → purpose.
Here: “black” (color) and “heavy” (quality/weight).
Step 2: Correct order.
“heavy black steel trunk” — quality/weight before color. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) Error in adjective order}} \]
