A cheetah is faster than a rabbit. Is this TRUE or FALSE?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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

Goodest

Better
Correct Answer
A. BetterExplanation
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.Rate this question:
