Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun.
The word "foolish" is an adjective because it describes a characteristic or quality, specifically a lack of good sense or judgment.
The other options (carnation, wagon, woman) are nouns, as they represent a person, place, or thing.
Thus, "foolish" is the only adjective among the given options.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Example: "The foolish decision led to unintended consequences."

Additional Information

Adjectives are often used to provide more information about a noun, making the meaning more specific and detailed.
For example, in the sentence, "She wore a beautiful dress," the word "beautiful" is an adjective that describes the noun "dress."
Adjectives can be used in different degrees (positive, comparative, superlative) to show the intensity or comparison, such as "tall," "taller," and "tallest."
In this context, "foolish" is used in its positive degree form to describe a decision.
