Clarification on Adverb - Adjective

by gmatIntent » Thu Oct 20, 2011 6:07 am
Can someone please clarify the below?

In the phrase 'seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals', what is the noun?

Just the 'professionals' or the 'moneyed professionals'

My confusion is if the noun is just the 'professionals' then moneyed is an adjective modifying the professionals. Then younger-than-ever is another adjective modifying moneyed.

Am I getting something totally wrong.

Please help.

Thanks

seems like - younger than ever is acting as an adverb here.

Moneyed is definitely adjective and of course professionals is noun

seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals

"Professionals" here is a noun modified by an adjective "moneyed"

Seemingly is an adverb modifying "younger-than-ever". "younger-than-ever" is modifying the "moneyed professional".

It will be better if you can post the full sentence.

The sentence : Seemingly younger-than-ever moneyed professionals have embraced a modern design ethic.

If 'moneyed' is adjective, then how can another abjective 'younger-than-ever' can modify it?
