Re: Adjective number: ¿Cuál es correcto?

Las mujeres son guapa.

O...

Las mujeres son guapas.

Los hombres son hermoso.

O...

Los hombres son hermosos.

In other words, do Spanish adjectives change in number to match the noun being modified?

Answer 1

Las mujeres son guapas.

Los hombres son hermosos.

These are correct.

In other words, do Spanish adjectives change in number to match the noun being modified?

Yes. Some of them can only be modified by number (e.g. feliz, fuerte) because they have the same feminine and masculine form. But all the adjectives ending in -o can be changed to -a (guapo/guapa).
