  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative form in the following sentence:

    My aunt is _____ (young) than my uncle.
    Solution
    The sentence is in the comparative degree when a comparison is made between two nouns, and when one noun (aunt) is higher in terms of quality than the other (uncle), the adjective of quality here being 'young'. The comparative form of 'young' is 'younger than'. Since we need to write the sentence in the comparative form, Option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because the phrase in it is of the positive degree. Option B is incorrect because the comparative 'more' is used to form comparative adjectives when the adjectives have more than two syllables, and 'young' has only one syllable. Option D is incorrect because the word is in the comparative form whereas the article is a superlative.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    Tim is a good boy.
    Solution
    The sentence is about the noun 'boy' that is modified by the adjective of quality 'good'. A sentence is of a degree of comparison when there are two nouns in comparison. When the qualities of two nouns are the same, then the sentence is of the positive degree. When the quality of one noun is higher than that of the other, the sentence is of the comparative degree. When the quality of one noun is highest, compared to the quality of the others, then the sentence is of the superlative degree. Since the sentence does not have any comparison, as there's only one boy, Tim, and the adjective 'good' does not have a degree of comparison, option D is correct and Options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    That paper is whiter than this paper.
    Solution
    Option A - A positive degree has no comparison. For example, 'She is tall.' In the given sentence, we see the comparison between types of papers. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - A superlative degree is used to explain the highest degree of the adjective. For example, 'She is the tallest of all.' As the given sentence shows comparison, it is not the superlative degree of the adjective. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'None' means no adjective. 'Whiter' is an adjective. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Whiter' is the comparative degree of the adjective as it compares the whiteness of 'that' paper with 'this' paper. Thus option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Use the positive degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    This cake is _____ (sweet) that one.
    Solution
    A comparison is made between two nouns, 'cake' and 'one', where 'one' is the pronoun for 'cake'. The quality 'sweet' of both these cakes is equal, as the sentence is of the positive degree. The word (sweet) in the bracket is a positive adjective, the phrase required in such a sentence is 'as...as'. Hence option A is correct, as the phrase is of the positive degree of comparison. Option B is incorrect because 'sweeter than' is of the comparative degree and we require a positive degree. Option C is incorrect because 'the sweetest' is of the superlative degree of comparison. Option D is incorrect because the word alone shows no degree of comparison.
  • Question 5
    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 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
    Identify the degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    Ryan is as tall as Tom.
    Solution
    The statement is positive, because the nouns in comparison aren't different from each other in terms of height, they're the same, hence the option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because the comparative 'taller than' isn't used. Option C is incorrect because the superlative phrase 'the tallest' isn't in the sentence. Option D is incorrect because the degree of comparison of the statement is Positive.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    Mary is _____ (strong) Ellen.
    Solution
    The sentence should be in the comparative degree of comparison. When a comparison is made between a noun that is higher in quality compared to the other noun, then the sentence is of the comparative degree. Here, the comparison is made between 'Mary' who has more strength, 'stronger' than 'Ellen'. Option C is of the comparative degree; 'stronger' is the comparative of 'strong' and 'than' is the link between the nouns, hence it's the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the word alone shows no degree of comparison. Option B is incorrect because its degree of comparison is positive (as strong as). Option D is incorrect because it's of the superlative degree (strongest).
  • Question 9
    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 10
    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.
