Question

1. select the example that displays proper noun adjective agreement and placement.

los altos chicos.
los chicos altos.
los chicos alto.
los alto chicos.

Explanation:

Analyze the noun gender and number

The noun is "chicos" (boys/children), which is masculine plural. Therefore, any modifying adjective must also be masculine plural.

Analyze adjective placement rules

In Spanish, descriptive adjectives (like "alto" meaning tall) typically follow the noun they modify.

Evaluate the options

• "Los altos chicos": Incorrect placement (adjective before noun).
• "Los chicos altos": Correct placement (adjective after noun) and correct masculine plural agreement ("altos" matches "chicos").
• "Los chicos alto": Incorrect agreement ("alto" is singular, "chicos" is plural).
• "Los alto chicos": Incorrect placement and incorrect agreement.

Answer:

• Los altos chicos.
• Los chicos altos. (Correct answer)
• Los chicos alto.
• Los alto chicos.
