  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    My brother is a very _______ musician
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the subject's brother is being given a quality. The brother is not being compared to others or being called the best. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of positive degree.
    Option A is incorrect. 'the most talented' is an adjective in the superlative degree. Since we need a positive degree adjective, it cannot be used.
    Option B is correct. 'talented' is a positive degree adjectives. It simply assigns the brother the quality of being talented as a musician. Thus, it is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'more talented' is a comparative degree adjective. Thus, it is used to compare the subject to others. Since that is not the purpose of the sentence, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'talent' is not an adjective but a noun. We require an adjective to describe the kind of musician the brother is. Thus, 'talent' is incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A bee is _______ than a bird.
    Solution
    Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern: Noun (subject) + verb +comparative adjective + than + noun (object). Usually in words with one syllable, the comparative degree is obtained by adding an -er to the positive degree. Similarly in this question, "small" (Option D) is the positive degree. To make it to a comparative one, we will add an -er to it, which makes it "smaller". Thus Option A is correct. Option B and C gives the superlative degree of the adjectives. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    I find English spellings  ____________.
    Solution
    The word 'difficult' is an adjective. Sometimes, adjectives follow the nouns that they modify.
    From the options, D is most appropriate because the word simply modifies the compound noun 'English spellings' by succeeding it. Hence option D is correct.
    Option A: 'It is difficult' is a clause and does not modify the noun 'spellings'.
    Option B: 'Is difficult' begins with a verb 'is', which is singular. The noun 'spellings', however, is plural. The verb and noun must be of the same number (singular or plural).
    Option C: In 'be difficult', 'be' is a base verb and requires the preposition 'to' to form a complete meaning. Without it, the phrase is incorrect.
    Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A ________ dog.
    Solution
    Degrees of comparison refer to adjectives being written in different forms to compare one, two or more nouns which are words describing persons, places and things. The three different forms of comparison are the positive, the comparative and the superlative. This sentence describes the positive degree. The simplest form of the adjective is its positive form, no comparison is done in this case.
    Option A: "bigger than" is used in comparative degree when comparison is between two individuals. 
    Option B: This is the correct option as "big" is used as positive degree. 
    Option C: This becomes a case of superlative degree where comparison is between more than two individuals. 
    Option D: Is also a case of superlative degree but with a definite article in front of it. When the definite article is put in front, the object specificity is shown.
    Option A, C and D are all wrong as they are used for more than one case comparisons
    Option B is correct because the sentence simply describes one dog and makes no comparison.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    This lesson is _____ than I expected.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the difficulty of the lesson is being compared to the subject's expectations. In order to make this comparison, the answer must be an adjective of the comparative degree.
    Option A is correct. 'much harder' is an adjective of the comparative degree. It indicates that the lesson was more difficult than what the subject had expected. Thus, it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. 'the hardest' is an adjective in the superlative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to make a comparison.
    Option C is incorrect. In 'most hard', the word 'most' indicates superlative degree but, 'hard' is in positive degree. Thus, the phrase itself is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. In 'more hard', the word 'more' indicates comparative. degree but, 'hard' is in positive degree. Thus, the phrase itself is incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:
    Mark Twain, one of _____ and _____ American writers, lived in a small town in his childhood.
    Solution
    The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
    'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun. 
    'The greatest and most popular' are superlative forms.
    'Greater and more popular' are comparative forms.
    'Great and popular' are positive forms.
    Hence Option C is correct.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Alice came late, Philip came later, and Tony ____.
    Solution
    The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
    The given sentence shows increasing order of degree of comparison. 
    The last one has to be superlative. 
    'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun.
    'Last, later and latest' are the positive, comparative and superlative degrees resectively. 
    The is used in adjective as there is noone more late than Tony.  
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The brown car is ____ than the white car.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'than' indicates that a common quality of the two cars(brown and white) is being compared. Thus the answer must be an adjective of a comparative degree.
    Option A is correct. 'smaller' is an adjective of the comparative degree. It indicates that the brown car is small in size as compared to  the white car. Thus, it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. 'the smallest' is an adjective in the superlative degree and thus cannot be used to compare two things. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect. 'smallest' is an adjective in the superlative degree and thus cannot be used to compare two things. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'small' is an adjective in the positive degree and thus cannot be used to compare two things. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    The Thames is ___ river in Great Britain.
    Solution
    The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
    'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun. 
    Hence Option A is correct. 
    'Longer' is comparative form. Thus Option D is incorrect.
    'Long' is the positive form so option B is incorrect. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Mr. Green has a __________vacation.
    Solution
    Option D: When nouns are used as adjectives, then it remains in singular form. In the given sentence, 'two-week' functions as an adjective as it modifies or describes the noun 'vacation'. Hence option D is correct.
    Option B: For the same reason, 'two-weeks' is incorrect since adjectives do not have plural form.
    Option A: 'Two weeks' does not function as an adjective because it's a compound noun. But, the correct part of speech should be an adjective because the 'vacation' is modified here.
    Option C: Two week's is incorrect because the word 'week' is singular whereas the number is plural: two. The correct form should be: two weeks'.
