Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Jim is 19 years old. Tony is 15. Jim is __________ than Tony.

A
younger

B
oldest

C
older

D
youngest

Solution

Most adjectives have three different forms to show degrees of comparison—the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. The positive is used to describe one item, group, or person. Comparative is used when two objects are present and superlative is used when more than two objects are being compared. In this sentence, two individuals are compared, so comparative degree should be used. Thus, Option B and Option D are eliminated as they both are superlative forms. Both, options C and A are comparative. Now, if we look into the sentence, Jim's age is more than Tony. Thus Jim is older and not younger.
Option C is correct.
Question 2

A

B

Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I can't speak English as ___________ my elder brother.

A
good as

B
fluently as

C
better than

D
well

Solution

A positive degree of adjectives is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. In this sentence, no comparison is being done or the blank needs a positive degree of the adjective which would not show any comparison. This form: as.... adverb/adjective..... as is used while comparing between two things which are in the same level or two thing that do not differ in a certain property. In this sentence Option A and B are two options. Now if we look into verb "speak". To describe verb "speak", "fluently" is better adverb as it means smoothly graceful and effortless. On the other hand, "good" means to be desired or approved of.
Option B is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
You are _____me.

A
Older

B
Oldest

C
Older than

D
Older then

Solution

There are two individuals in this case who are compared which makes us understand that we are supposed to use the comparative degree. So the adjective that we would use would be "older". 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 C with the adjective.
Option C is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Colombia is the __________ country in the world

A
as wet as

B
wetter than

C
wetter

D
wettest

Solution

The three different forms of comparison are the positive, the comparative and the superlative. The positive is the form of the adjective that describes one noun. The comparative form of the adjective compares two nouns. The superlative form of the adjective compares more than two nouns. In this sentence, more than two nouns are being compared (countries of the world). Thus, we should use superlative degree in this case.
Option A: is a positive degree of comparison as used in case of equal proportions.
Option B: Wetter is a comparative degree of adjective
Option C: Same as above
Option D gives the superlative degree.
Option D is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Venus is the ________ planet to Earth.

A
far

B
nearest

C
farther

D
near

Solution

Most adjectives have three different forms to show degrees of comparison — the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. The positive is used to describe one item, group, or person. There are different ways to form the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives. In this sentence more than one planet's distance from Earth is compared. Thus, superlative degree should be used.
Option A: "Far" is the positive degree
Option B: This is the superlative degree of Near.
Option C: This is a comparative adverb.
Option D: Is again the positive degree.
Option B is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Where is the ___________ place in the world?

A
hottest

B
as peaceful as

C
more interesting

D
colder

Solution

Superlative degree of an adjective that takes a comparison to the highest degree. In this particular sentence, the place has been compared to all other places based on a particular property. Moreover, in the case of superlative degree, "the" is used before the adjective, which is also present in this sentence. This confirms the usage of the superlative degree in the blank. "as peaceful as" is used in positive degree, "more interesting" and "colder" is used in comparative degree.
Thus, hottest is the answer. Option A is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0
