Question 1
1 / -0

Select the correct form of adjectives from the options given.
Dark

A
Darker / Darkest

B
More dark / Most dark

C
Darker / Most dark

D
None of the above

Solution

Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns to make them more specific.
There are 3 degrees of adjectives: Positive, comparative and superlative.
The word given in the question is 'dark' and this is the positive degree of the word. The comparative degree of the word dark is formed by adding '-er' to the word and it becomes 'darker'. The superlative degree of most words is formed by adding '-est' to the word and sot he superlative degree of dark becomes 'darkest'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) Dark / Darkest.
Question 2
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the correct degree of adjective from the options given.
The Maths exam was __________ than I expected. [Intermediate]

A
Difficult

B
Most difficult

C
Least difficult

D
Less difficult

Solution

Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns to make them more specific.
There are 3 degrees of adjectives: Positive, comparative and superlative.
The comparative form of most words is formed by adding '-er' to the original word. The superlative form of the word is formed by adding '-est' to the original word. But in some words, this principle cannot be used. In such cases, words like 'more' and 'less' are used to indicate the comparative and superlative degree. One such word is 'difficult'. The question is comparing the math exam with what the subject expected and the reality was.
The comparative degree of the word 'difficult' is 'more difficult' or 'less difficult'. So, the correct answer is option D) less difficult.
Words 'least' and 'most' are not used in the comparative degree and so options B and C are incorrect. Option A) is incorrect because it is not a comparative degree of the adjective 'difficult'.
Question 3
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining an adjective + a present participle:

A
She is a good-looking girl.

B
Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures.

C
It was a last-minute decision.

D
This is a smoke-free restaurant.

Solution

The present participle is a participle that ends in -ing.
Option A: "good-looking"- compound adjective; "good" is an adjective and "looking" is a present participle
Option B: "cold-blooded"- compound adjective; "cold" and "blooded" are both adjectives
Option C: "last-minute"- compound adjective; "last" is an adjective and "minute" is a noun
Option D: "smoke-free" is a compound adjective; "smoke" is a noun and "free" is an adjective
Option A is the correct option
Question 4
1 / -0

Select the correct form of adjectives from the options given.
Great

A
Greater / Most Great

B
Greater / Greatest

C
Great / Greatest

D
None of the above

Solution

Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns to make them more specific.
There are 3 degrees of adjectives: Positive, comparative and superlative.
The word given is 'great' which is the positive form of the word. The comparative form of most words is formed by adding '-er' to the original word. The superlative form of the word is formed by adding '-est' to the original word. Therefore, the comparative and superlative degrees of the word 'great' are 'greater'and 'greatest' respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) greater / greatest.
Question 5
1 / -0

Select the correct form of adjective from the options given.
Near

A
Nearer / Nearest

B
More near / Most near

C
More near / Nearest

D
None of these

Solution

Comparative degree is used to compare differences between the two objects. Superlative degree is used to mark the highest degree of anything. Comparative degree is formed by adding '-er' at the end of the word and superlative is formed by adding '-est' at the end of the word. 'Nearer' and 'nearest' are the correct comparative and superlative forms of adjectives. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining an adverb + a past participle:

A
We should start using wind-powered generators to cut costs.

B
I bought some mouth-watering strawberries.

C
This is a brightly-lit room.

D
She is a world-famous singer.

Solution

A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverb, expressing manner, place, time, or degree. When adverb is used before an adjective, "ly" is usually added to the end.
Option A: "wind-powered" is the compound adjective here, but there are no adverbs present.
Option B: "mouth-watering" is again a compound adjective, although it is not containing any of the other requirements
Option C: "brightly-lit" is the compound adjective in this case, "brightly" is the adverb and "lit" is the past participle
Option D: "world-famous" is the compound adjective over here but does not have the required combinations.
Option C is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining a number + a time period:

A
I work an eight-hour day.

B
This is a brightly-lit room.

C
She is a well-known actress.

D
Our office is in a twenty-storey building.

Solution

A compound adjective is formed when two or more words are joined together to form an adjective to modify the same noun.. They are joined with a hyphen (-). A number can be joined with a time period to form a compound adjective. E.g. eight-hour, 2-day long process etc. Thus, option A is the correct answer as compound adjective 'eight-hour' is correctly formed in the sentence.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable adjective from the options given below:
After a week of extreme heat, it is much __________ now.

A
cool

B
coolest

C
cooler

D
none of these

Solution

The given sentence requires the most suitable form of an adjective. The word 'much' is a comparative degree of adverb and is often accompanied by a comparative degree of an adjective. Hence, we can say - 'After a week of extreme heat, it is much cooler now.' Thus the correct answer is C- Cooler. Option A is incorrect, as 'much cool' is grammatically incorrect for the reason explained above. Option B is incorrect, as 'coolest' is the superlative degree of adjective and can't be paired with 'much'. Option D is incorrect, as option C is the answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The bus is very ___________ .

A
quickly

B
slow

C
well

D
noisily

Solution

Adjective is a word that describes a noun. In this case, the noun is "bus". We need to select a word that describes the bus. Option A and D are both adverbs (one which describes an adjective). Well is also an adverb. It modifies a verb (telling "how"). Well may be used as an adjective to indicate good health or satisfactory conditions. But in this case that is not defining the noun. In this case, an adjective is required which describes the motion of the bus, which is Option B, slow.
Option B is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
New York is_____Paris.

A
Dirty

B
Dirtier than

C
The dirtiest

D
Dirtier

Solution

There are two cities that are in this case which makes us understand that we are supposed to use the comparative degree. So the adjective that we would use would be "dirtier". Now, when we frame a sentence, a conjunction is always used in case of comparative degree which is missing in the sentence but present in option B with the adjective. Than is used to make comparisons.
Option B is correct.
