5. What t ype of a diective is the und erlined?He wa s given a s econd ch ance to perform th e task. A. Pos sessive adjective B . Indefinite adjective C. Dem onstrative a diective D. Qua ntitative adjective x 1 point

The correct answer is B. Indefinite adjective.<br /><br />In the sentence "He was given a second chance to perform the task," the underlined word "second" is an indefinite adjective. Indefinite adjectives refer to nonspecific people or things. In this case, "second" is used to indicate a nonspecific or general instance of a chance, rather than a specific chance. It does not possess any specific noun, nor does it demonstrate or quantify anything in particular.
