Explanation

The correct answer is "coolest." This is the superlative form of the adjective "cool," used to describe Smith as the most popular or admired person in the company. The sentence highlights that everyone likes Smith, making "coolest" the most fitting choice. The option "cooler" is comparative, used to compare two people. "As cool as" implies equality, and "cool" alone does not indicate the highest degree of admiration.

2. This movie is 4 hours long. This is the __________ (long) movie I have ever seen.

Explanation

The given question is asking for the word that completes the sentence correctly. The sentence states that the movie is 4 hours long, and the word that best fits in the blank is "longest." This is because "longest" is the superlative form of the adjective "long," which is used to compare three or more things. It indicates that the movie is the most long in comparison to any other movies the person has seen.

Submit
3. Ahmed is 65 kg, and Ali is 50 kg, so Ahmed is __________ (heavy) Ali.

Explanation

The correct answer is "heavier than." When comparing the weights of two people, we use the comparative form of the adjective "heavy," which is "heavier." Additionally, the word "than" is necessary to complete the comparison structure. In this case, Ahmed weighs 65 kg, and Ali weighs 50 kg, so Ahmed is heavier than Ali. The option "heavyer than" is incorrect because it is a misspelling. "Heavier" without "than" does not form a complete comparison, and "as heavy as" implies that both individuals weigh the same, which is not true.

Submit
4. Everybody likes Smith. He is the __________(cool) person in the company.

Explanation

The correct answer is "coolest." This is the superlative form of the adjective "cool," used to describe Smith as the most popular or admired person in the company. The sentence highlights that everyone likes Smith, making "coolest" the most fitting choice. The option "cooler" is comparative, used to compare two people. "As cool as" implies equality, and "cool" alone does not indicate the highest degree of admiration.

Submit
5. Sara is the __________ (beautiful) girl in the class.

Explanation

When we compare Sara to all the other girls in her class, we use the superlative form of the adjective "beautiful," which is "most beautiful." The superlative form is used to describe the highest degree of a quality among three or more subjects. In this case, Sara is considered to be the most beautiful girl in the class, surpassing everyone else. The word "beautifulest" is incorrect because it is not a valid superlative form in English. Similarly, "much beautiful" and "more beautiful" describe a comparison but do not indicate the highest degree. Therefore, the correct sentence is: Sara is the most beautiful girl in the class.

Submit
6. Smith is 180 cm tall, and Ross is 160 cm tall, so Smith is __________ (tall) Ross.

Explanation

The sentence compares Smith’s height (180 cm) with Ross’s height (160 cm). Since Smith is taller than Ross, we use the comparative form "taller than." Comparatives are used when comparing two entities, and the adjective "tall" takes the form "taller" in this case. The word "than" is used to connect the two subjects in the comparison. For example, the sentence, Smith is taller than Ross, accurately reflects the height difference. Other options like "the tallest" imply comparison with more than two people, and "as tall as" suggests equality, which does not apply here. Hence, the correct answer is "taller than."

Submit
7. This cup of tea is__________ (hot) than that cup of coffee.

Explanation

The correct answer is "hotter" because it is the comparative form of the adjective "hot." Comparative adjectives are used when comparing two things. In this sentence, the cup of tea is being compared to the cup of coffee, specifically in terms of temperature. The adjective "hot" changes to "hotter" to show that the tea has a higher degree of heat than the coffee. Words like "hoter" and "hot" are grammatically incorrect in this context, while "the hottest" refers to the superlative form, which is used when comparing more than two things. Therefore, "hotter" is the appropriate choice.

Submit
8. Home is always __________ (comfortable) work.

Explanation

The correct answer is "more comfortable than." This is the comparative form of the adjective "comfortable," used when comparing two things. The structure "more + adjective + than" is appropriate when the adjective has multiple syllables. In this case, the sentence compares the comfort of "home" to "work," and "more comfortable than" correctly conveys that home provides a higher level of comfort. The option "comfortabler" is not a valid word, and "the comfortablest" is incorrect as it does not follow standard grammar rules.

Submit
9. Smith always gets full marks. He is __________  (good) student in the class.

Explanation

Smith always gets full marks, showing that he consistently excels in his studies. This exceptional performance indicates that he surpasses all his classmates academically. In such cases, we use the superlative form of the adjective "good," which is "the best." The definite article "the" is necessary because it specifies Smith as the top student, emphasizing his unique position in the class. Other options, such as "better" or "good," do not adequately convey this level of superiority. Additionally, "bestest" is not a correct word in English. Hence, the correct sentence is: Smith always gets full marks. He is the best student in the class.

Submit
10. Both Ahmed and Ali got the full mark, so we can say that Ahmed is ___________ (clever) Ali.

Explanation

The correct answer is "as clever as." This phrase is used to indicate that two people are equal in a specific quality or skill. Since both Ahmed and Ali got full marks, it shows they have the same level of cleverness. The option "cleverer" is incorrect because it suggests one person is smarter than the other. Similarly, "more clever" is another way of saying "cleverer," and "cleverest" is a superlative form used to indicate the highest level of cleverness among more than two individuals. Here, "as clever as" appropriately expresses equality.

Submit
11. Physics is the __________ (difficult) subject in high school.

Explanation

The correct answer is "most difficult." This is the superlative form of the adjective "difficult," used to describe something as being the hardest among several options. The sentence emphasizes that physics is the most challenging subject in high school, requiring deep understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The option "more difficult than" is comparative, used for comparing two subjects. "Difficultest" and "difficulter" are not correct words in English. "Most difficult" appropriately shows that no other subject is harder than physics.

Submit
12. Rabbits are __________ (fast) than turtles. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "faster." This is the comparative form of the adjective "fast," used to compare the speed of rabbits and turtles. Comparative adjectives like "faster" help describe how one thing differs from another in a specific quality. Rabbits are well-known for being quicker than turtles, making "faster" the appropriate choice. The option "slower" is the opposite of "faster" and does not fit the context. "As fast as" implies equal speed, and "fast" does not form a comparison.

Submit
13. This shirt is __________ (expensive) shirt in the shop.

Explanation

The correct answer is "the most expensive" because it follows the correct comparative form for adjectives of more than two syllables. When comparing the degree of expense between items, we use the superlative form "the most" followed by the adjective "expensive." The other options, such as "the expensivest," "more expensive," and "expensiver," do not follow the correct grammatical structure for making comparisons.

Submit
14. Ahmed always tells the truth. He is the __________ (honest) person I have ever met.

Explanation

The correct answer is "most honest." This is the superlative form of the adjective "honest," used to describe someone who has the highest level of honesty among a group of people. The sentence states that Ahmed always tells the truth, implying he is the most honest person the speaker has ever met. The phrase "most honest" emphasizes that Ahmed's honesty is unmatched. The option "more honest than" is comparative, used for comparing two individuals. "As honest as" suggests equality, and "honest" alone does not convey the intended meaning.

Submit
15. Love is __________ (important) money. 

Explanation

The sentence compares the importance of love and money, so the correct form of the adjective "important" must be used for comparison. In this case, "more important than" is appropriate because it shows that love is considered to hold greater value than money. The comparative adjective "more important" highlights this contrast, while the word "than" connects the two elements being compared. For example, the sentence, Love is more important than money, clearly indicates that love takes priority over financial wealth. Other options, such as "the most important," do not fit since they describe the highest degree, not a comparison.
