Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

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

    • Longest

    • Longer

    • Long

    • More long

    Correct Answer
    A. Longest
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

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

    • Heavier than

    • Heavyer than

    • As heavy as

    • Heavier

    Correct Answer
    A. Heavier than
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

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

    • Cooler

    • As cool as

    • Coolest

    • Cool

    Correct Answer
    A. Coolest
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

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

    • Much beautiful

    • More beautiful

    • Most beautiful

    • Beautifulest

    Correct Answer
    A. Most beautiful
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

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

    • As tall as

    • The tallest

    • Tall

    • Taller than

    Correct Answer
    A. Taller than
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

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

    • Hoter

    • Hotter

    • The hottest

    • Hot

    Correct Answer
    A. Hotter
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

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

    • Cleverer

    • As clever as

    • More clever

    • Cleverest

    Correct Answer
    A. As clever as
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Home is always __________ (comfortable) work.

    • More comfortable than

    • Comfortabler

    • The comfortablest

    • Comfortable

    Correct Answer
    A. More comfortable than
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

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

    • Better

    • Good

    • The best

    • Bestest

    Correct Answer
    A. The best
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

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

    • Most difficult

    • More difficult than

    • Difficultest

    • Difficulter

    Correct Answer
    A. Most difficult
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Rabbits are __________ (fast) than turtles. 

    • Slower

    • As fast as

    • Faster

    • Fast

    Correct Answer
    A. Faster
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

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

    • The expensivest

    • More expensive

    • Expensiver

    • The most expensive

    Correct Answer
    A. The most expensive
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

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

    • More honest than

    • As honest as

    • Most honest

    • Honest

    Correct Answer
    A. Most honest
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Love is __________ (important) money. 

    • The most important

    • More important than

    • As important as

    • Important

    Correct Answer
    A. More important than
    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.
