अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (२) Adjective of Number
स्पष्टीकरण:
Adjective of Number vs Adjective of Quantity:
व्याकरणाचा नियम:
१.
वाक्य: *"I have read many novels."*
२.
या वाक्यात 'many' हा शब्द 'novels' (कादंबऱ्या) या नामाच्या आधी आलेला आहे.
३.
संख्यावाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Number / Numeral Adjective):
•
'Novels' हे संख्या मोजता येणारे अनेकवचनी नाम (Countable Plural Noun) आहे.
•
जे विशेषण मोजता येणाऱ्या नामांची संख्या दर्शवते (how many things are meant), त्याला Adjective of Number म्हणतात.
•
उदाहरण: *many books, three pens, several students*.
४.
परिमाणवाचक विशेषण (Adjective of Quantity) का नाही?
•
Adjective of Quantity हे मोजता न येणाऱ्या, केवळ परिमाण असणाऱ्या नामांसाठी येते (उदा. *much water, little milk*).
५.
त्यामुळे 'many' हे Adjective of Number म्हणून कार्य करते.
पर्याय (२) हे अचूक उत्तर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (2) Adjective of Number
Explanation:
The question tests the precise syntactic classification of adjectives.
Detailed Analysis:
1.
Sentence: *"I have read many novels."*
2.
Noun Type: Novels is a plural countable noun.
3.
Adjective of Number (Numeral Adjective):
•
An adjective that shows how many persons or things are meant, or in what order a person or thing stands, is called an Adjective of Number.
•
Since 'many' answers the question 'How many novels?' for a countable noun, it functions as an Indefinite Numeral Adjective / Adjective of Number.
4.
Adjective of Quantity: Modifies uncountable mass nouns answering 'How much?' (*much sugar, little time*).
5.
Hence, 'many' functions as an Adjective of Number.
Hence, Option (2) is correct.
