Explanation

5.  cheetah ile ilgili görsel sonucurabbit ile ilgili görsel sonucu A cheetah is faster than a rabbit.         Is this TRUE or FALSE?

Explanation



The statement "A cheetah is faster than a rabbit" is true. Cheetahs are known to be the fastest land animals, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 mph in short bursts. On the other hand, rabbits are not known for their speed and typically have a top speed of around 30 mph. Therefore, the cheetah is indeed faster than a rabbit. We use “faster” in this sentence because “fast” is one syllable, so we can add -er to the end of the word to show the comparison.
Submit
6. airplane ile ilgili görsel sonucu An airplane is .......................................than a bicycle. 

Explanation

An airplane is faster than a bicycle because airplanes are designed to travel at high speeds and cover long distances in a short amount of time. This sentence is comparing 2 objects; when this occurs, we use the comparative adjectives. When the adjective is one syllable, we add -er to the end of the word.

Explanation

Australia is big, but Canada is even bigger than Australia. We use “bigger than” rather than “more big” because big is only one syllable.

Submit
9.    The first bag is ........................... (HEAVY)   than the other one.

Explanation

The correct answer is "heavier" because it is the comparative form of the adjective "heavy." When comparing two things, we use the comparative form to indicate that one is more heavy than the other. In this case, the first bag is being compared to the other bag, and it is stated that it is "heavier" than the other one. The word “heavy" is one syllable, so we change the y to i and add -er to show comparison.

10. Which word is the comparative form of the adjective "good"?

Explanation

Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things or groups. "Better" is the comparative form of "good," indicating that one thing is of higher quality or greater value than another. The other options are incorrect because "goodest" is not a standard English word, "best" is the superlative form (used for comparing three or more things), and "well" is usually an adverb, not an adjective.
