Answer
1. Specification Adjectives specify or describe the qualities, characteristics, or attributes of
nouns. This specification helps to paint a clearer picture or provide more detailed
information about the noun in question. For example, in the phrase "red apple," the
adjective "red" specifies the color of the apple.
Nuance and Precision Adjectives add nuance and precision to nouns, allowing speakers and
writers to convey subtle differences in meaning. For instance, consider the difference
between "big house" and "small house." The choice of adjectives alters the perception of
the noun, providing different shades of meaning.
2.
1. Definite description:
- "The president of the company announced the merger."
(Presupposition: There is a president of the company.)

2. Factive verb:
- "She realized she had forgotten her keys."
(Presupposition: She had forgotten her keys.)
3. Adverb "too":
 - "John is too smart to fail the exam."
(Presupposition: John is smart.)
4. Adverb "again":
- "Sara started her diet again."
(Presupposition: Sara had started her diet before.)

3. Open Compound Nouns: In this case, the two nouns are written separately.
- Examples:
- Post Office: "post" + "office"
'Post' mean 'pos', 'office' mean 'kantor'
- Full Moon: "full" + "moon"
'Full' mean penuh, 'moon' mean 'bulan'
