Claim
polysyllabic adjectives: "significant", "increasingly"
Correction
This labels both words as adjectives, but "increasingly" is an adverb, not an adjective.
Full reasoning
The phrase groups "significant" and "increasingly" together as "polysyllabic adjectives," but standard dictionaries classify them differently.
- Cambridge Dictionary lists "significant" as an adjective.
- Cambridge Dictionary lists "increasingly" as an adverb.
So while "significant" fits the category, "increasingly" does not. That makes the claim factually inaccurate as written: the two examples are not both adjectives.
