Solution

Numeral Adjectives are those adjectives which are used to denote the number of nouns or the order in which they stand. They are also commonly called Adjectives of Number. In simpler terms we can say that Adjective of numbers tell us the number of people or things and maintain clarity by giving exact information. Indefinite numeral adjective is something that gives a number but not in exact amount. In this sentence, the blank requires a indefinite numeral adjective. Such is a determiner; so is an adverb. Thus option A and D can be eliminated. Much is usually used for uncountable noun whereas people in this case is countable. "So many" is the indefinite numeral adjective that would fit this blank.
Option B is correct.

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.

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.

Solution

The descriptive adjective is an adjective which describes different qualities of a noun or a pronoun being modified. E.g. Alex is a nice person.

Than is used to make comparisons.
Option B is correct.

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

B

C

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.

Option C is correct.
