teacherJapanAre all adjectives correct and common in the following sentence?

I don't think any of them are. What springs naturally to my mind is 'natural' or '***-given'.

TeacherJapan · Answer

'***-given' and 'natural' may be the best choices, but I regretfully, I doubt that my students can come up with those terms from the original Japanese. I'll keep those terms in mind, though. Choosing the best nouns has always been my goal:-)

I wonder if any of them is good enough or passable as English.
