Puys...

The title for shubho's post is:

shubho - SC- 5.8.2008 - pg 103

I am sorry. I promise to follow the naming convention from next time. I apologize for whatever inconvenience caused.

Here are the answers.

For the first question the answer is c. And for the second it is a.

The Royal Order of Adjectives follows this sequence: observation new), size (large), color (blue), material (metal), purpose (racing) and noun (machine). Hence [c].

The Royal Order of Adverbs follows this sequence: manner (tirelessly), place (at home), frequency (twice a day), time (after his meals), and purpose (to improve his scores). Hence [a].
