We use comparative forms when we compare two things, such as \u201colder than,\u201d \u201cmore expensive than,\u201d or \u201cbetter than.\u201d We use superlative forms when we compare one thing with a whole group, such as \u201cthe oldest,\u201d \u201cthe most expensive,\u201d or \u201cthe best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Answer Explanations<\/h1>\n

Question 1 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is heavier<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that the sentence compares two things: this suitcase and that suitcase. When we compare two things, we use the comparative form of the adjective. \u201cHeavy\u201d ends in consonant + \u201cy,\u201d so we change \u201cy\u201d to \u201ci\u201d and add -er<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 2 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the most comfortable<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the city\u201d shows that one hotel is being compared with all the hotels in the city. This means the sentence needs a superlative form. Because \u201ccomfortable\u201d is a longer adjective, we use \u201cthe most\u201d before the adjective.<\/p>\n

Question 3 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is older<\/strong>. The sentence compares two people: my father and my uncle. For short adjectives like \u201cold,\u201d we usually add -er<\/strong> to make the comparative form. The word \u201cthan\u201d also clearly shows that a comparative adjective is needed.<\/p>\n

Question 4 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the narrowest<\/strong>. The sentence compares one street with all the streets in the neighborhood. This requires a superlative form because the street is being placed at the top of a group. \u201cNarrow\u201d can take -est<\/strong>, so \u201cthe narrowest\u201d is correct.<\/p>\n

Question 5 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is better<\/strong>. The sentence compares your answer with my answer, so a comparative form is needed. \u201cGood\u201d is an irregular adjective, and its comparative form is not \u201cgooder.\u201d The correct comparative form is \u201cbetter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 6 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more beautiful<\/strong>. The sentence compares two dresses: the blue dress and the red dress. \u201cBeautiful\u201d is a longer adjective, so we do not usually add -er<\/strong>. Instead, we use \u201cmore\u201d before the adjective to make the comparative form.<\/p>\n

Question 7 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the youngest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin our family\u201d shows that one person is compared with all the people in the family. This requires a superlative form. \u201cYoung\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -est<\/strong> and use \u201cthe\u201d before it.<\/p>\n

Question 8 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is easier<\/strong>. The sentence compares today\u2019s test with yesterday\u2019s test. \u201cEasy\u201d ends in consonant + \u201cy,\u201d so we change \u201cy\u201d to \u201ci\u201d and add -er<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d confirms that the comparative form is needed.<\/p>\n

Question 9 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the best<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cof my holiday\u201d shows that one day is compared with all the days of the holiday. This requires a superlative form. \u201cGood\u201d is irregular, and its superlative form is \u201cthe best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 10 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is faster<\/strong>. The sentence compares a plane with a train. \u201cFast\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -er<\/strong> to form the comparative. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that the sentence needs a comparative form.<\/p>\n

Question 11 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more comfortable<\/strong>. The sentence compares this sofa with the chair, so a comparative adjective is required. \u201cComfortable\u201d is a longer adjective, so we form the comparative with \u201cmore.\u201d The sentence means the sofa gives a higher level of comfort than the chair.<\/p>\n

Question 12 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the most hardworking<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the class\u201d shows that one student is compared with all the students in the class. This requires a superlative form. Because \u201chardworking\u201d is a longer adjective, we use \u201cthe most\u201d before it.<\/p>\n

Question 13 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is hotter<\/strong>. The sentence compares today with yesterday, so a comparative form is needed. \u201cHot\u201d is a short adjective with one vowel and one final consonant, so we double the final consonant and add -er<\/strong>. That is why the correct form is \u201chotter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 14 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the most expensive<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the shop\u201d shows that one bag is compared with all the bags in the shop. This requires a superlative adjective. Since \u201cexpensive\u201d is a longer adjective, the correct form is \u201cthe most expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 15 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is farther<\/strong>. The sentence compares the distance from school between two houses. \u201cFar\u201d has irregular comparative forms, and \u201cfarther\u201d is commonly used for physical distance. Because the sentence includes \u201cthan,\u201d a comparative form is required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
