Answer Explanations<\/h1>\n

Question 1 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is bigger<\/strong>. We use a comparative adjective when we compare two people, places, or things. In this sentence, \u201cmy room\u201d is compared with \u201cmy brother\u2019s room.\u201d For the short adjective \u201cbig,\u201d we double the final consonant and add -er<\/strong>, so the correct form is \u201cbigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 2 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the most interesting<\/strong>. We use a superlative adjective when we compare one thing with all the others in a group. In this sentence, one book is compared with all the books in the library. Because \u201cinteresting\u201d is a longer adjective, we use \u201cthe most\u201d before it.<\/p>\n

Question 3 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is taller<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d tells us that the sentence needs a comparative form. \u201cTall\u201d is a short adjective, so we usually add -er<\/strong> to make the comparative form. The sentence compares Sarah with her sister, so \u201ctaller\u201d is correct.<\/p>\n

Question 4 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the coldest<\/strong>. We use a superlative form when one thing is compared with a whole group. In this sentence, one day is compared with all the days of the week. Because \u201ccold\u201d is a short adjective, we add -est<\/strong> and use \u201cthe\u201d before it.<\/p>\n

Question 5 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is easier<\/strong>. The sentence compares this exercise with the last exercise, so a comparative adjective is needed. \u201cEasy\u201d ends in consonant + \u201cy,\u201d so we change \u201cy\u201d to \u201ci\u201d and add -er<\/strong>. That is why the correct comparative form is \u201ceasier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 6 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more difficult<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that the sentence is making a comparison between English and math. \u201cDifficult\u201d is a longer adjective, so we do not usually add -er<\/strong>. Instead, we use \u201cmore\u201d before the adjective.<\/p>\n

Question 7 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the fastest<\/strong>. The sentence compares one player with all the players on the team, so a superlative form is needed. \u201cFast\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -est<\/strong> to form the superlative. We also use \u201cthe\u201d before a superlative adjective.<\/p>\n

Question 8 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is better<\/strong>. The sentence compares this phone with the speaker\u2019s old phone. \u201cGood\u201d has an irregular comparative form, so we do not say \u201cgooder.\u201d The correct comparative form of \u201cgood\u201d is \u201cbetter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 9 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the worst<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cI have ever seen\u201d often points to a superlative meaning because the speaker is comparing one movie with all the movies in their experience. \u201cBad\u201d has an irregular superlative form. The correct superlative form is \u201cthe worst.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 10 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more expensive<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that two things are being compared. \u201cExpensive\u201d is a longer adjective, so its comparative form is made with \u201cmore,\u201d not with -er<\/strong>. The sentence compares the usual price of a car with the usual price of a bicycle.<\/p>\n

Question 11 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is heavier<\/strong>. The sentence compares one bag with another bag, so a comparative adjective is required. \u201cHeavy\u201d ends in consonant + \u201cy,\u201d so we change \u201cy\u201d to \u201ci\u201d and add -er<\/strong>. Therefore, \u201cheavier\u201d is the correct form.<\/p>\n

Question 12 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the highest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the world\u201d shows that one mountain is being compared with all mountains in the world. This requires a superlative form. \u201cHigh\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -est<\/strong> and use \u201cthe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 13 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is larger<\/strong>. The sentence compares the speaker\u2019s new school with the old school. \u201cLarge\u201d is a short adjective ending in \u201ce,\u201d so we add only -r<\/strong> to form the comparative. The word \u201cthan\u201d confirms that a comparative form is needed.<\/p>\n

Question 14 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the most popular<\/strong>. The sentence compares one restaurant with all restaurants in the town. This requires a superlative form. Because \u201cpopular\u201d is a longer adjective, we use \u201cthe most\u201d before it.<\/p>\n

Question 15 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is colder<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that the sentence compares winter and autumn. \u201cCold\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -er<\/strong> to make the comparative form. The sentence means that winter usually has a lower temperature than autumn.<\/p>\n
