  • a)
    Adjective + Adjective 
  • b)
    Noun + Noun 
  • c)
    Adjective + Noun 
  • d)
    Noun + Adjective 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered
A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. A compound adjective can be formed using different forms of speech, which along with another adjective functions as a compound adjective. In the given phrase ‘world’ is a noun. While ‘famous’’ is an adjective. They are combined with a hyphen to form a compound adjective, to denote a person who is known across the world. Since it is a combination of a 'Noun' and an 'Adjective', A is correct. On the other hand ‘World’ is not an 'Adjective' so options C and D are incorrect. Similarly ‘famous’ is not a 'Noun', thus option B is incorrect.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
An adjective that does not make a comparison is said to be in the positive degree. (In other words, the positive degree is the normal form of an adjective). Likewise, in this sentence as well we would be looking into the positive degree of the adjective. In the rst 
part of the sentence, it is comparing the expense of the restaurant. This makes it a comparative degree. Thus, the answer becomes "cheaper". In the second part, the comparison of expenses is at the same level which makes it a positive degree. Now, usually positive degrees of this kind are expressed in the form "as-adjective-as". "Expensive" is the adjective here and it would be having "as" on both sides. So, the answer becomes Option B

Complete the sentence with the correct degree of adjective from the options given.____________marks in the History test were 94. 
  • a)
    The better 
  • b)
    Best 
  • c)
    The best 
  • d)
    The good 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Jay Banerjee answered
Explanation:

The sentence is describing the marks obtained in the History test, and it is comparing them to other possible marks. In this case, the highest degree of the adjective is required to indicate the superior quality or level of the marks.

The correct degree of the adjective to use in this sentence is "the best."

Reasoning:

To determine the appropriate degree of the adjective, we should consider the following:
1. Comparative Degree: The comparative degree is used when comparing two things. In this sentence, we are not comparing the marks to anything else, so the comparative degree is not appropriate.
2. Superlative Degree: The superlative degree is used when comparing more than two things and indicating the highest or lowest degree of a quality. In this sentence, the marks are being compared to all possible marks that could have been obtained in the History test, indicating the highest degree of quality. Therefore, the superlative degree is the correct choice.

Options Analysis:

a) The better: This is the comparative degree of the adjective "good." It indicates a higher degree of quality than another option but not the highest degree. This option is incorrect.
b) Best: This is the superlative degree of the adjective "good." It indicates the highest degree of quality. However, the sentence requires the use of the definite article "the" before the adjective to indicate a specific noun (marks). Therefore, this option is incorrect.
c) The best: This is the correct answer. It uses the superlative degree of the adjective "good" and includes the definite article "the" before the adjective to indicate a specific noun (marks).
d) The good: This option uses the positive degree of the adjective "good," which does not indicate a higher or lower degree of quality compared to other options. This option is incorrect.

Conclusion:

The correct degree of the adjective to complete the sentence is "the best" (option c). This choice accurately reflects the highest degree of quality being described in the sentence.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option: It was____music I have ever heard.
  • a)
    more beautiful 
  • b)
    less beautiful 
  • c)
    the most beautiful 
  • d)
    beautiful 
  • e)
    most beautiful 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Abhiram Gupta answered
Understanding the Correct Answer
The sentence "It was ____ music I have ever heard" requires a specific form to emphasize the degree of beauty of the music being referred to. Let’s analyze the options.
Option Analysis
- a) more beautiful: This form suggests a comparison with other music but doesn't fit the superlative context provided by "ever heard."
- b) less beautiful: This contradicts the positive sentiment implied in the sentence, making it an inappropriate choice.
- c) the most beautiful: This is the correct answer. It is a superlative form that indicates this music is at the highest degree of beauty compared to all other music the speaker has heard.
- d) beautiful: While this is a positive descriptor, it does not convey a comparison or a superlative, leaving the statement incomplete.
- e) most beautiful: This is incorrect because it lacks the definite article "the," which is essential in forming a superlative.
Why 'the most beautiful' Works
Using "the most beautiful" emphasizes that among all the music the speaker has experienced, this particular piece stands out as the best.
Conclusion
In summary, "the most beautiful" is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate, making option 'C' the only suitable choice for completing the sentence effectively.

The cheetah has a faster speed than any land animal. Choose the option that
Best corrects the underlined words.
  • a)
    NO CHANGE
  • b)
    that of any land animal
  • c)
    those of any land animal
  • d)
    a land animal
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eduskill Classes answered
The comparison is between the speed of one animal with the other animals. The phrase
'any land animal' does not contain any mention of speed, hence option A is incorrect. In
the second option 'that of any animal', 'that' demonstrates the speed of 'any land animal',
hence it's correct. 'Those' is a demonstrative of plural nouns, speed not being a plural
noun in this context, makes this option incorrect. Option D is incorrect because neither
is the speed mentioned nor is it contextually correct.
answer Answer sheet on Adjective

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. These apples aren't as____ those.
  • a)
    better than 
  • b)
    good as 
  • c)
    good 
  • d)
    better 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
The given sentence is talking about two sets of apples. It indicates that the quality of the apples mentioned rst(These apples) is not the same as the quality of the latter mentioned apples(those). Here, the sentence is simply talking about a quality and thus, the answer must be an adjective in the positive degree. 
Option A is incorrect. 'better than' is an adjective of the comparative degree and not the positive degree. Thus, it is incorrect. 
Option B is correct. 'good as' is an adjective of positive degree. Also, it conveys the correct meaning and thus, it is the correct answer. 
Option C is incorrect. 'good' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. 'good those' makes no sense. There must be a preposition after 'good' to refer to the second set of apples. Thus, it is incorrect. 
Option D is incorrect. 'better' is an adjective of the comparative degree and not the positive degree. Thus, it is incorrect.

What is a proper adjective?
Correct answer is 'Answer An adjective, typically capitalized, derived from a proper noun.'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
You probably are familiar with proper nouns: the special nouns in the English language that are privileged enough to have their first letter capitalized. These are the nouns that refer to specific things, places, or people. For example, writer is a regular noun, but Shakespeare is a proper noun. The noun country is regular, but Canada is a proper noun. Now, proper nouns are in fact
the origins for proper adjectives. If Shakespeare is the proper noun, Shakespearian is the
proper adjective. If Canada is the proper noun, Canadian is the proper adjective. Just like
proper nouns, proper adjectives are capitalized, too.

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:Your English is much____
Now. You have made___mistakes this time.
  • a)
    best / least
  • b)
    better / fewer
  • c)
    the best / less
  • d)
    good / few
  • e)
    best / the least
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eduskill Classes answered
The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a higher degree of the quality than the
positive. It is used when two things (or two sets of things) are compared. The format for comparative degree is ' + er than' or 'more/less than'. In the above question there are two statements which indicate comparison to a time in the past as 'now' and 'this time' are used.
'Good, better and best' and 'less/few, lesser/fewer and least' are the positive, comparative
and superlative forms respectively. Hence option B is correct.

Medieval paintings differ from Renaissance Paintings That the former have more gold paint than the latter.Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words. 
  • a)
    NO CHANGE 
  • b)
    that of the latter 
  • c)
    those of the latter 
  • d)
    the latter paintings 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

C K Academy answered
Comparison of adjectives means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. In the given sentence, the paintings of two different eras are compared. Words of comparison should not only have the same
structure but also tense. This,optionA is the correct answer per rule as the given sentence is grammatically correct.

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words:Tim thought that playing so literal one was as enjoyable as volleyball with his friends. 
  • a)
    playing volleyball 
  • b)
    that of volleyball 
  • c)
    the game of volleyball 
  • d)
    NO CHANGE 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
The underlined noun is not parallel to the grammatical structure of the phrase that it's being compared with. It needs to be changed hence option D is incorrect. Option A is correct because it follows the required structure to compare with the phrase "playing solitaire alone". Options C and D do not follow the same grammatical structure of the phrase that it's being compared with, hence they're incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.Who is the________man in the world? 
  • a)
    rich 
  • b)
    most richest 
  • c)
    richest 
  • d)
    most rich 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
The word "the" is used when referring to something specific, say a person or a thing, or a particular quality of someone or something. 
Thus as per the structure of the question, we have to use the superlative degree of the adjective "rich". 
The superlative degree adjective of "rich" is "richest". 
Therefore the correct complete sentence is : 
Who is the RICHEST man in the world?

Choose The Correct Option To Complete The Sentence. Hedidnotbuy______
Honey.
  • a)
    some
  • b)
    any
  • c)
    none
  • d)
    few
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 10 answered
The statement is negative. So, we cannot use 'some'. 'Few' is inappropriate as 'honey' is an
uncountable noun. 'None' is grammatically incorrect in the sentence. The correct answer
is 'any'.

Option C: Is a wrong word 
Option D: It is an adverb meaning in a way that shows intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.Jim is not________a quick worker________you are.
  • a)
    such / as
  • b)
    so / that
  • c)
    such / that
  • d)
    more / than
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 10 answered
The context indicates and implies an example. Jim is being compared to you
as a worker. "Such/as" in option A is used to demonstrate an example or a similar kind
of instance. This is correct as it compares Jim and you. "So/that" in option B is incorrect
as it is used to introduce a clause of purpose. This is not the requirement of the context.
"Such/that" in option C is used to express purpose or result. However, here we just want
to demonstrate a comparison. "More/than" in option D is used to indicate a thing of
greater value importance. However, here the comparison is indicative to the detriment of
the subject. Therefore, option A is correct.

Fill in the blank using demonstrative adjectives:________people ought to be avoided. 
  • a)
    this 
  • b)
    that 
  • c)
    such 
  • d)
    Both A and B 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

C K Academy answered
'People' is a plural noun and can be used with a plural demonstrative 
adjective/determiner. 
Option A - 'This' is used with singular nouns only. Thus option A is incorrect. Option B - 'That' is used with singular nouns only. Thus option B is incorrect. Option D - As option A and B are incorrect, option D is incorrect. 
Option C - 'Such' is used with singular as well as plural nouns. Thus option C is the correct answer. 
'Such people ought to be avoided.' 

Choose the option that fills the blank with the most suitable word:This metal is the_____metalo fall.
  • a)
    harder 
  • b)
    hard 
  • c)
    hardest 
  • d)
    as hard as 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
Option A is incorrect because it is of the comparative degree, which is used when two things are compared, whereas the noun 'metal' is being compared to all metals as a group, hence it's of the superlative degree. Option B is incorrect because 'hard' is a positive adjective, which does not make a comparison. Option C is correct, 'hardest' is a superlative that refers to the highest degree of the quality 'hardness' in comparison to all metals. Option D is incorrect because 'as hard as' is of the positive degree of comparison used when two things are equal in quality, here 'metal' and 'all metals' are not equal in terms of hardness.

State Whether True Or False:It is not possible to form adjectives from other adjectives.
  • a)
    True 
  • b)
    False 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 10 answered
The statement is false because it is possible to form adjectives from other adjectives by adding suffixes. For example: tragic - tragical

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.You are the________ person I've ever known.
  • a)
    luckier 
  • b)
    more lucky 
  • c)
    too lucky 
  • d)
    luckiest 
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

C K Academy answered
In this sentence, we would be understanding the usage of the superlative degree. A superlative degree gives the highest level of comparison. It is used when more than two people or things are compared. In this particular sentence, the luck of all the people is compared with this particular person. Thus, it is going to be the superlative degree of an adjective in the blank. Now, lucky is the positive form and to make it to the superlative form we would be adding "-iest" (Since this is a two syllable word, the "y" is removed and "iest" is added). It becomes luckiest. 
Option D is correct.

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:The languages spoken in India are more numerous than other countries.
  • a)
    in other countries 
  • b)
    those of other countries 
  • c)
    other languages 
  • d)
    NO CHANGE 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
The nouns being compared in the given sentence are the languages of India with the languages of other countries in terms of number. The underlined phrase mentions only 'other countries' and misses out on their languages, hence option D is incorrect. In option B, we're shown the phrase 'those of other countries'. 'Those' demonstrates the phrase 'the languages' hence this is the correct option. In options A and C the phrases are incomplete. In A 'languages' is not mentioned, whereas in C 'countries' is not mentioned, so these two are incorrect.

Form an adjective from the following noun:king
  • a)
    kingful 
  • b)
    kingish 
  • c)
    kingly 
  • d)
    kinged 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered
Option C is correct because the suffix -ly changes the noun to an adjective attributing the meaning 'the qualities of'. In the phrase "kingly presence" the adjective 'kingly' modifies the noun 'presence'. The adjective 'kinged' is archaic, it isn't used in Standard English or modern-day English, hence option D is incorrect. The words 'kingful' and 'kingish' do not exist in the dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A and B are incorrect. 

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:Our government spends ___________money on schools.
  • a)
    much 
  • b)
    many 
  • c)
    a lot of 
  • d)
    a great 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
'A lot of' is a quantity that describes the amount or degree of something. It is used with plural countable nouns as well as singular countable nouns. Here, the noun 'money' is a singular countable noun. Hence, this option is a suitable one, and C is correct. Options A and B: We use 'much' and 'many' in questions and negatives. Since the given sentence isn't a negative, A and B are incorrect. Option D: When we use 'a great' to talk about the number or quantity, it must be followed by the words 'deal of': a great deal of money. Otherwise, the meaning isn't complete. Hence option D is incorrect.

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
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nk Classes answered
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 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.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:This is___ place I've ever seen. 
  • a)
    dirty 
  • b)
    the dirtiest 
  • c)
    more dirty 
  • d)
    dirtier 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eduskill Classes answered
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 B is correct. 
'Dirtier' is a comparative form. Thus Option D is incorrect. 
'Dirty' is the positive form so option A is incorrect. 
As 'ever' is used in the sentence, use of the determiner 'the' is necessary. 'More dirty' is an incorrect comparative form, so option C is incorrect.
In this sentence, we are comparing pizzas. So, 'other parts of the world' and Neapolitan pizza do not make a logical comparison. The correct comparison is between 'Neapolitan pizza' and 'pizza in other parts of the world.'

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.The World's Population getting________every year.
  • a)
    big
  • b)
    bigger
  • c)
    very big
  • d)
    the biggest
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eduskill Classes answered
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). In this particular sentence, the population have been compared to the previous
year's population . Thus, we would be using the comparative degree. "Big"is the positive
degree and biggest is the superlative degree of big. "Bigger" is the comparative degree of
Big. Option B is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:_____old books are missing
from book shelves.
  • a)
    Much
  • b)
    Enough
  • c)
    Several
  • d)
    Lot
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 10 answered
'Much' is an indefinite numeral adjective which is used for uncountable nouns, hence it
is an incorrect answer because books are a countable noun. 'Enough' is a positive adjective implying that the numerical strength of the noun has reached the required amount or fulfills a requirement of some form, hence it is an incorrect option. 'Several' refers to a countable noun, in this case being the books, this is the correct answer. The adjective 'lot' is incomplete without 'of'. If 'lot of' was used, it would be correct, otherwise it's incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option: Which season is_______ inThailand? 
  • a)
    rainy 
  • b)
    the rainiest 
  • c)
    most rainy 
  • d)
    more rainy 
  • e)
    raining 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Solanki answered
The form of an adjective indicating the greatest degree of the quality that the adjective describes. It is used only when more than three individuals, things or situations or places are compared. The amount of rain in all the seasons in Thailand have been compared. Rainy is a two syllable word thus the superlative degree is made by adding "-iest" after removing the "-y" from the end. 
Now, when we use superlative degree usually "the" is used in front 
Option B is correct.

Complete The Sentence Using The Best Option:I need______days'rest.
  • a)
    few 
  • b)
    a few 
  • c)
    little 
  • d)
    a little 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Eduskill Classes answered
'Days' is a countable noun, so 'little' is not appropriate in this context. 'Few' is used for countable nouns. Since the sentence most likely conveys that the person needs 'a small amount of a larger part' rather than 'only a small amount', we should use 'a few' and not 'few'.

    ugly 
  • b)
    tasty 
  • c)
    big 
  • d)
    gold 
Correct answer is option 'B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

Eduskill Classes answered
In the given sentence, John has shared his sandwich with his friends, which is a generous act. Option A ugly is incorrect, because it is used to describe the appearance of something and isn't the right word to qualify food. Option B tasty is correct, as it gives an idea of the quality of food, also the fact that he shared it because it was tasty is plausible. Option C big, is correct, as it denotes the size of the sandwich. Option D gold, is incorrect, because a sandwich is neither made of gold nor of gold colour.

    any 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
Adjective of quantity indicates the amount or estimated amount of the noun or pronoun in the sentence. It does not provide information about exact numbers, it only tells the amount of nouns in relative or whole terms. 
Option A: Much is used for uncountable nouns.  
Option B: Some can be used with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Some are usually used in positive statements. 
Option C: Many is used for countable nouns. 
Option D: Any is usually used for plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns in questions and negative statements. 
In this sentence we cannot properly understand the noun being countable or uncountable. The sentence is positive so we cannot use any. Option B is correct.

    badly 
  • c)
    worst 
  • d)
    None of the above 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

C K Academy answered
The given sentence expresses a comparison between how the person 'I' felt on Saturday and Sunday. The word 'ill' is an adjective whose comparative form is 'worse'. Option A: 'Worse' is a comparative adjective form of 'ill' and completes the sentence. Hence A is correct. 
Option B: 'Badly' is an adverb and does not describe the state of being 'felt'. Also, it isn't the comparative form of 'ill'. Hence B is incorrect. 
Option C: 'Worst' is a superlative adjective which would be used if there were more than two things to compare. 
(For e.g. I felt ill on Friday, worse on Saturday and worst on Sunday.') 
Hence option C is incorrect. 
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
