(A) French wines are not available here
(B) He showed much patience
(C) He has lost all his wealth
(D) I ate some rice
The sentence with the proper adjective is:
(A) French wines are not available here
Here’s why:
- French is derived from the proper noun France, indicating the origin of the wines.
- Patience and wealth are common nouns, not proper nouns. They describe general qualities and possessions, not something specific.
- Rice is a common noun for a type of food.
Therefore, only “French” in sentence (A) functions as a proper adjective.
