Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Other planes are not as ____________ Concorde.

A
more expensive

B
expensive

C
expensive as

D
as expensive

Solution

Positive degree is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. If we look into Option C, the structure as…as is used to compare things that are of similar proportion. In this case the first as acts as an adverb modifying the adjective or adverb that goes after it. The second as can act as a preposition or conjunction. If it is used as a preposition, it will be followed by a noun or pronoun. If it is used as a conjunction, it will be followed by a clause. The structure as…as cannot be used to measure things of unequal proportion. In this case, we have to use comparative + than or superlative+than. This makes as....as a positive degree of comparison. In this particular sentence, the comparison is of similar proportion. Option C is the correct option.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable adjective:
A: Hello, darling. I've got a present for you.
B: For me?
A: Don't look so _________. I often buy you presents.
B: But it isn't my birthday!

A
bored

B
exciting

C
tiring

D
surprised

Solution

Adjectives are words that define the noun. In this case, the adjective should define the person B's reaction. An unexpected or astonishing event has happened in B's life because he/she did not expect the present from A. "Bored" means feeling weary and impatient because one is unoccupied or lacks interest in one's current activity, which does not define the person's reaction. "Exciting" defines a person who is with a lot of eager and enthusiasm, which again does not define the person's reaction. "Tiring" defines a person who is worn out of energy. Finally, surprised defines a person who had undergone an unexpected or astonishing event in his/her life. Option D defines the exact situation of B.
Option D is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He is very honest. He is ________ than David.

A
honest

B
more honestly

C
more honest

D
honestly

Solution

This is an example of a comparative degree of the adjective. Comparative degree is used when more than two nouns are compared. 'More honest' is a form of comparative degree. Thus, option C is the correct answer. 'Honest' is a positive degree. Options B and D are wrong grammatically according to the sentence.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Concorde is _________ other planes.

A
the safest

B
safest

C
as safe as

D
safer

Solution

Positive degree is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. If we look into Option C, the structure as…as is used to compare things that are of similar proportion. In this case the first as acts as an adverb modifying the adjective or adverb that goes after it. The second as can act as a preposition or conjunction. If it is used as a preposition, it will be followed by a noun or pronoun. If it is used as a conjunction, it will be followed by a clause. The structure as…as cannot be used to measure things of unequal proportion. In this case, we have to use comparative + than or superlative+than. This makes as....as a positive degree of comparison. In this particular sentence, the comparison is of similar proportion. Option C is correct.
Option A and B are superlative degree and Option D is comparative degree.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
She's __________ than her sister.

A
much nicer

B
more nicer

C
much more nicer

D
more nice

Solution

If we look into this sentence, two things are compared, "She" and "her sister". Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects. We will fill the blank with a comparative degree of an adjective. First of all, the comparative degree is "nicer" as it is a word with a single syllable. The rule for single syllable word is the addition of -er for the comparative.
Option A: Is correct as it uses the comparative degree. With that, the property of being nice is enhanced by the usage of the word "much"
Option B: Is wrong. "More" is used for countable nouns, and niceness is uncountable.
Option C: Is wrong as "more nicer" itself is wrong (refer last option)
Option D: "more nice" is also wrong as more is only added in comparative degree when it is a three syllable word.
Option A is correct
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He isn't as intelligent ______ his sister.

A
like

B
as

C
than

D
nothing

Solution

Positive degree of adjectives are 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 adjective which would not show any comparison.
Option A: "like" is used a conjunction or preposition which is not needed over here
Option B: Is the correct answer.
Option C: "than" is used as a conjunction or preposition
Option D: "nothing" can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverb but they do not show the positive degree of comparison in this case.
Option B is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He came late because he can't run __________ the others.

A
as fast as

B
faster

C
the fastest of

D
quickly as

Solution

Positive degree is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. If we look into Option C, the structure as…as is used to compare things that are of similar proportion. In this case the first as acts as an adverb modifying the adjective or adverb that goes after it. The second as can act as a preposition or conjunction. If it is used as a preposition, it will be followed by a noun or pronoun. If it is used as a conjunction, it will be followed by a clause. The structure as…as cannot be used to measure things of unequal proportion. In this case, we have to use comparative + than or superlative+than. This makes as....as a positive degree of comparison. In this particular sentence, the comparison is of similar proportion. Thus, Option A is correct. Option B is a comparative degree and Option C contains the superlative degree. Option D, the phrase is incomplete for the sentence.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
Carol writes well. Andy writes __________ than Carol. Mary writes ________.

A
good / the best

B
better / better

C
good / better

D
better / the best

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 the second sentence, there are two persons, or comparison is being done between two individuals. Thus, we are supposed to use comparative degree. This restricts our choice to Option B and Option D. In the third sentence, the number of nouns being compared is more than two which means we need to use the superlative degree i.e. "best."
Option D is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Who is _____________ footballer in Turkey?

A
very good

B
a better

C
the best

D
best

Solution

A superlative adjective compares three or more nouns. This takes the comparison of nouns to the highest degree. In this particular sentence, the comparison is being done between all the footballers in Turkey which takes it to the superlative degree. We would be using the superlative degree of good in this case, which is "best". This restricts our options to C and D. Now, when we write a sentence in superlative degree we always use "the" in front of the adjective. So "the best" is the correct option.
Option C is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Janet is almost ________ her father. She's 176 cm and he is 178 cm.

A
tall as

B
as tall as

C
taller than

D
little shorter

Solution

The positive degree is the simplest form of the adjective and has no special ending. It merely describes the quality, without expressing or suggesting any comparison. When we compare two objects, persons, qualities, degrees etc. that are in some respects equal, we may use the comparison of equality. In these cases they become the positive degree of comparison as the level of comparison remains the same. In these cases, the form: "as.... adjective/adverb..... as" is used.
This indicates that Option B is the correct answer.
