Some derivatives are given in the options. They are arranged in a sequence of Verb, Noun and Adjective. Identify the incorrect sequence.Verb Noun Adjective (1) Continue Continual Continuation (2) Admit Admission Admissible (3) Decisive Decision Decide (4) Excite Excitement Excitable
(1) and (3)
Derivatives are words formed from the same root with suffixes. Verbs often end without a suffix (continue, admit, decide), nouns often take -ion, -ation or -ment, and adjectives often take -al, -ive, -ible or -able.
Row (1): “Continue” is a verb, but “Continual” is an adjective and “Continuation” is a noun, so the Noun and Adjective columns are swapped. The sequence is incorrect.
Row (2): “Admit” (verb), “Admission” (noun), “Admissible” (adjective) is in the correct order. Row (4): “Excite” (verb), “Excitement” (noun), “Excitable” (adjective) is also correct.
Row (3): “Decisive” is an adjective and “Decide” is the verb, so the Verb and Adjective columns are swapped. The sequence is incorrect.
Only rows (1) and (3) are wrongly arranged; any pairing that includes row (2) or row (4) names a correct sequence.
(1) and (3) option is correct.
