SHAKESPEARE'S MERCHANT OF VENICE
STUDY THE FOLLOWING two word phrases.
The first word is expected to be an adjective ending in. 'y'.
Some of the first words, you will find, are unfortunately NOT ADJECTIVES.
Identify the first words which are not adjectives.
E.g. "competency lives". Competency, basically is a noun. The relevant adjective form is competent. 'Competency' , though a noun, can be used as an adjective in phrases like 'competency parameters'. But such uses are exceptional. 'Competency' in the under-noted Shakespeare's sentence is used as a noun, which the contextual meaning shows.
Hint: 'My' and 'thy' are attributive possessive adjectives. They end in 'y'.
