    Ice is colder than rain.     Is it  TRUE  or  FALSE? - ProProfs

    Ice is colder than rain.     Is it  TRUE  or  FALSE?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Ice is colder than rain because ice is a solid state of water and has a lower temperature than liquid water, which is what rain is. We would not say “more cold” because “cold is one syllable, so we add -er to the end of the comparative adjective.

    • Better

    • Gooder

    • Good than

    Correct Answer
    A. Better
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "better". This suggests that the speaker believes that action movies are superior to comedy movies. They may find action movies more exciting, thrilling, or entertaining compared to comedy movies. The word "better" indicates a higher level of preference or quality in the speaker's opinion.

     Math is .................................... (DIFFICULT)  than English. 

    • Difficulter

    • Difficultest

    • More difficult

    Correct Answer
    A. More difficult
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "more difficult" because when comparing the level of difficulty between two subjects, we use the comparative form of the adjective. When comparing adjectives, if the adjective has more than 2 or more syllables “more” is used instead of adding -er to the end of the word.

      A cheetah is faster than a rabbit.         Is this TRUE or FALSE? - ProProfs

      A cheetah is faster than a rabbit.         Is this TRUE or FALSE?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    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.

  • 6. 
    An airplane is .......................................than a bicycle.  - ProProfs

    An airplane is .......................................than a bicycle. 

    • Slower

    • Faster

    • More slow

    • More fast

    Correct Answer
    A. Faster
    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.

  • 7. 
      A blue whale is ..................................than a dolphin. - ProProfs

      A blue whale is ..................................than a dolphin.

    • Heavyer

    • Heavier

    • More heavy

    • The heaviest

    Correct Answer
    A. Heavier
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "heavier." When comparing the weight of a blue whale and a dolphin, "heavier" is the correct comparative form of the adjective "heavy." It indicates that the blue whale has more weight than the dolphin. When adding -er to the end of of a word ending in “y” we change the “y” to an “i” and add -er.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Australia is big, but Canada is …........................ Australia.

    • Biggest

    • More big

    •  bigger than

    Correct Answer
    A.  bigger than
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 
       The first bag is ........................... (HEAVY)   than the other one. - ProProfs

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

    • Heavier

    • Heavyer

    • More heavy

    Correct Answer
    A. Heavier
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

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

    • Goodest 

    • Better

    Correct Answer
    A. Better
    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.
