  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Use the superlative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    He was _____ (great) king that ever lived.
    Solution
    The sentence is in the superlative degree when the noun 'king' has the quality of the highest degree, the adjective of quality being 'great'. The superlative form of 'great' is 'the greatest', hence option D is correct. The phrase 'as great as' is in the positive degree, since the sentence is supposed to be of the superlative degree, option A is wrong. Option B is incorrect because the phrase 'the greater' has the comparative 'greater' and 'the' is the article that modifies a superlative, which don't go together. Option C 'great' does not refer to any degree of comparison by itself.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Use the superlative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    She is the _____ (beautiful) girl in the school.
    Solution
    When a positive is changed to a superlative, and the positive is of three or more syllables, then we use the superlative 'most'., without changing the form of the noun. Hence option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because when nouns of three syllables and more are changed to a superlative, then 'est' is not added to the noun. Option C is incorrect because the phrase is a positive. Option D is incorrect because 'very' is not a superlative.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    Jerry is _____ (industrious) than his brother.
    Solution
    The sentence is said to be in the comparative degree when two nouns are compared, one noun is of a higher degree compared to the other. Here the noun 'Jerry' is 'more industrious' than the other noun 'brother'. Option C is correct because the adjective has three syllables while forming the comparative we do not add the suffix '-er' to it. Instead, 'more' precedes the adjective. Option A is incorrect, the adjective has three syllables and hence the suffix '-er' is not added to it. Option B is incorrect because the phrase in it is of the positive degree. Option D is incorrect because 'very' isn't a comparative, nor is it used in any degree of comparison.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    That bag is ______ (large) than my suitcase.
    Solution
    Option A - 'Large' can't be used as it is not the comparative degree of the adjective. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'More large' is grammatically incorrect, as 'larger' is the comparative form of the adjective 'large', when we have a comparative form, we shouldn't use 'more'. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'The largest' is the superlative form of the adjective. As the sentence has 'than', it indicates that the sentence requires a comparative adjective form and not a superlative form. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Larger' is a comparative form of the adjective which can be used to compare the bag in the sentence with the suitcase. Thus option C is the correct answer.
    'That bag is larger than my suitcase.'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    This is a _____ (thin) piece of wood than that.
    Solution
    A sentence is in the comparative degree when two nouns are compared to each other, one noun being higher in quality than the other. The comparison here is between two pieces of wood, where one is 'thinner' than the other. The adjective 'thin' forms a comparative by adding '-er' to it, 'thinner' hence option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because the comparative 'more' does not precede adjectives which have one or two syllables (at least in the given case). While converting a positive to a comparative, we add the suffix 'er'. When the positive adjective of one syllable ends in a single consonant (n) and is preceded by a short vowel (i), like in 'thin' then that consonant is doubled. Hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the phrase is of the positive degree.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    The child was _____ (happy) living in London than he was living in New York.
    Solution
    The sentence is in the comparative degree of comparison when two nouns are compared to each other, and one noun is of the higher degree than the other. In the sentence, the 'child' was 'happier' in one place 'London' than in the other 'New York'. As 'happier' is the comparative form of 'happy', Option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because the phrase is of a positive degree. 'More' precedes an adjective when it has more than two syllables, 'happy' has two syllables hence 'more' is not used here. Hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the adjective 'happiest' is a superlative.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    care
    Solution
    Option B is correct because the suffix -ful is used in the formation of adjectives indicating 'full of', hence the adjective 'careful' means 'full of care'. Option A is incorrect because firstly, the suffix is used for adverbs and secondly, this word does not exist. Option C is incorrect because the suffix -some is used for adjectives meaning 'characterized by', and because this word does not exist. Option D is incorrect because it is a verb.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    fool
    Solution
    Option D is correct because the suffix -ish is used in the formation of adjectives indicating the quality or characteristic of that noun. For example, in the sentence "Stacy was foolish to believe him", the adjective 'foolish' modifies the noun 'Stacy'. Option C is incorrect because 'fooled' is a verb, meaning 'being deceived'. 'Foolful' and 'foolly' are not words, they do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A and B are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    trouble
    Solution
    Option A is correct because it's an adjective where the suffix '-some' indicates 'characterized by or causing'. For example, in the sentence "His actions were troublesome in many ways", the adjective 'troublesome' modifies the noun 'actions' saying that his actions cause trouble. 'Troublely', 'troubleful' and 'troubleable' do not exist in the English language, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Use the superlative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    This is _____ apple of all those in the basket.
    Solution
    The phrase in option B is superlative, with the definite article and the superlative form of 'red', hence it's the correct option. Option A is incorrect because when a single syllable positive is changed to a comparative, if the noun ends with a single consonant preceded by a short vowel, then that consonant is doubled, and to the noun 'red' we double the consonant and add the suffix 'est', making it 'reddest'. Option C is incorrect because the superlative 'most' is not used for single syllable nouns and the noun is a positive. Option D is incorrect because the article is missing and the superlative of red is spelled wrong.
