Attributively used adj.= जिसको noun/ pronoun से चिपका के (left या right) रखा जाये।

जैसे- Suman is a clever girl./ He was an intelligent boy.

Predicatively used adj.= जिसको noun/ pronoun से दूर रखा जाये, चिपका कर नहीं।

जैसे- Suman is clever./ He was intelligent.

Option B में sweet "flowers" के बारे में बता रहा है। Sweet को flowers से चिपका कर नहीं रखा गया है इसीलिए इस adj. का प्रयोग predicatively हुआ है। यदि "sweet flowers" लिखा होता तो attributive use कहलाता।
