2. What is the comparative degree of "good" ?

Explanation

The comparative degree of "good" is "better." This is because when comparing two things, we use the comparative degree to indicate that one thing is of a higher quality or more desirable than the other. In this case, "better" is the appropriate comparative form of "good" to express this comparison.

Submit
3. The superlative degree of 'bad' is 'worst'.

Explanation

The superlative degree of 'bad' is 'worst' because when comparing three or more things, 'worst' is used to indicate the lowest level of quality or the most negative outcome. It is the most extreme form of 'bad' and represents the highest degree of negativity.

Submit
4. Was it fun at the party yesterday? It was ---------- party I had ever had.

Explanation

The correct answer is "the most enjoyable" because it indicates that the party was extremely enjoyable compared to any other party the person had ever had. The phrase "the most" is used to express the highest degree of enjoyment, making it the appropriate choice in this context.

Submit
5. The adjectives have four degrees of comparison.

Explanation

The statement is incorrect. Adjectives have three degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative. The positive degree is used to describe a quality without making any comparison, the comparative degree is used to compare two things, and the superlative degree is used to compare three or more things.

Submit
6. Which one is a polysyllabic adjective?

Explanation

A polysyllabic adjective is an adjective that has more than one syllable. "Interesting" is a polysyllabic adjective because it has four syllables: in-ter-est-ing. The other options, "rough," "fine," and "nice," are all monosyllabic adjectives as they only have one syllable each.

Submit
7. The comparative degree of happy is more happy

Explanation

The comparative degree of "happy" is "happier," not "more happy." The word "more" is used to form the comparative degree for adjectives with more than two syllables, while the comparative degree for adjectives with one or two syllables is formed by adding "-er" to the adjective. Therefore, the statement "The comparative degree of happy is more happy" is incorrect.

Submit
8. Which of these adjectives form their degrees of comparison by adding 'er' 'est'

Explanation

The adjectives "small" and "bright" form their degrees of comparison by adding "er" and "est". For example, "smaller" and "smallest" are the comparative and superlative forms of "small", while "brighter" and "brightest" are the comparative and superlative forms of "bright". However, the adjective "good" does not follow this pattern and instead forms its degrees of comparison irregularly as "better" and "best". The adjective "many" also does not form its degrees of comparison with "er" and "est", but instead uses "more" and "most".

Submit
9. Which one is a monosyllabic adjective?

Explanation

The word "big" is a monosyllabic adjective because it has only one syllable.

Submit
10. The word old is an irregular adjective.

Explanation



The adjective "old" is not considered irregular. In English, an irregular adjective refers to adjectives that do not follow the typical pattern of forming comparatives and superlatives, often requiring completely different words rather than just adding "-er" or "-est" or using "more" or "most." However, "old" follows a regular pattern to some extent with its comparative and superlative forms being "older" and "oldest," although it can also form these with "elder" and "eldest" when referring specifically to family relationships, which might be seen as somewhat irregular. But generally, it does not deviate enough in its most common forms to be considered irregular.

11. Which are irregular adjectives?

Explanation

Irregular adjectives are adjectives that do not follow the typical pattern of adding -er or -est to form comparative and superlative forms. "Far" and "little" are irregular adjectives because their comparative and superlative forms are "farther/further" and "less" respectively, instead of adding -er or -est. "Difficult" and "pretty" are regular adjectives because their comparative and superlative forms are formed by adding -er and -est respectively.
