Comparative and Superlative Adjectives:
Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. They can be used in three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive form is used to describe one person, thing, or place. The comparative form is used to compare two people, things, or places. The superlative form is used to compare three or more people, things, or places.
Comparing Cities in Asia:
In this sentence, we are comparing the level of being "big" of different cities in Asia, specifically Hong Kong. We need to choose the correct form of the adjective to complete the sentence.
Options:
a) big
b) bigger
c) biggest
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' - big.
Hong Kong is already being compared to very few cities in Asia. We are not comparing Hong Kong to any specific city or making a comparison between two cities. Therefore, the positive form of the adjective "big" is appropriate in this case.
If we were comparing Hong Kong to another specific city, we would use the comparative form "bigger." For example, "Hong Kong is bigger than Tokyo."
If we were comparing Hong Kong to two or more specific cities, we would use the superlative form "biggest." For example, "Hong Kong is the biggest city in Asia."
However, in this sentence, we are simply stating that very few cities in Asia are as big as Hong Kong. So, the correct answer is option 'A' - big.
