    Correct Answer

A campaign refers to a series of planned activities and efforts undertaken by a candidate to promote their candidacy and gain support from the public.

    • More good

    • Best

    • Bestest

    Correct Answer
    A. Best
    Explanation
    The word "best" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence. It is the superlative form of the adjective "good," indicating the highest level of quality or excellence. The sentence expresses that the spaghetti is of the highest quality the speaker has ever tasted. The other options, such as "goodest," "more good," and "bestest," are not grammatically correct or commonly used comparative forms of "good."

    • Most quieter

    • More quieter

    • Most quietest

    Correct Answer
    A. Quieter
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "quieter" because it is the comparative form of the adjective "quiet." It is used to compare two things, indicating that the house became less noisy when everyone went to sleep. The other options are incorrect because "most quieter" and "more quieter" use incorrect forms of comparison, and "most quietest" uses a redundant superlative form.
