Which one is a polysyllabic adjective?
-
Interesting
-
Rough
-
Fine

Correct Answer
A. InterestingExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The comparative degree of happy is more happy
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The word old is an irregular adjective.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Which are irregular adjectives?
-
Far
-
Difficult
-
Little
-
Pretty
Correct Answer(s)
A. Far
A. LittleExplanation
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.Rate this question:

The adjectives have four degrees of comparison.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Which of these adjectives form their degrees of comparison by adding 'er' 'est'
-
Small
-
Good
-
Bright
-
Many
Correct Answer(s)
A. Small
A. BrightExplanation
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".Rate this question:

What is the comparative degree of "good" ?
-
Gooder
-
Better
-
Best
Correct Answer
A. BetterExplanation
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.Rate this question:
