C) Beautiful is the adjective
Beautiful is describing the poem.
Words that describe something else are adjectives.
For example, "the red book", red would be the adjective because it describes something.
If you ever get a question like this and don't know what to do, here are some things to look for:
If a word ends with LY (like truly or melancholy) you can be PRETTY sure that it is NOT an adjective
If another choice is an object or thing, then it is a noun and not an adjective.
The option "poem" isn't an adjective because it doesn't describe anything. It IS a thing! It's a thing that you can describe. You can touch/see it. You can't touch/see "beautiful"

Injured is the adjective. even in spite of the indisputable fact that that's in many situations a verb in this sentence that's used to describe the athlete. Adjectives are descriptive words. It tells you what style of athlete it grow to be.

C.beautiful. An adjective modifies a noun. In this sentence, beautiful modifies the noun poem. Also, if asked to identify adverbs, an adverb modifies an adjective. In this sentence, truly modifies beautiful.

"Beautiful" is your main adjective, truly modifies beautiful. So, "truly beautiful" is what's called an adjective phrase.
