    Solution

    The sentence that does not contain an adjective is:   Tony lost his briefcase. Explanation: An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun. In the given options: a. "black" and "leather" are adjectives describing the noun "shoes." b. "more" and "intelligent" are adjectives describing the noun "boy." c. "cold-blooded" is an adjective describing the noun "murder." However, in option d, "briefcase" is a noun without an adjective modifying it. Therefore, option d is the sentence that does not contain an adjective.
