Answer Explanations<\/h1>\n

Question 1 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is narrower<\/strong>. The sentence compares two places: this street and the main road. When we compare two things, we need a comparative adjective. \u201cNarrow\u201d can take -er<\/strong>, so \u201cnarrower\u201d is the correct form.<\/p>\n

Question 2 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the smartest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin her class\u201d shows that one girl is compared with all the girls in the class. This means the sentence needs a superlative adjective. \u201cSmart\u201d is a short adjective, so we use \u201cthe\u201d and add -est<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 3 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more difficult<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that the sentence compares two lessons. \u201cDifficult\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 4 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the easiest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the exam\u201d shows that one question is compared with all the questions in the exam. This requires a superlative form. \u201cEasy\u201d ends in consonant + \u201cy,\u201d so we change \u201cy\u201d to \u201ci\u201d and add -est<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 5 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more modern<\/strong>. The sentence compares the speaker\u2019s new phone with the old phone. \u201cModern\u201d is usually treated as a longer adjective in basic grammar, so the comparative form is made with \u201cmore.\u201d The word \u201cthan\u201d confirms that a comparative form is needed.<\/p>\n

Question 6 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the fastest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the school\u201d shows that one runner is compared with all the runners in the school. This means the sentence needs a superlative adjective. \u201cFast\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -est<\/strong> and use \u201cthe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 7 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more comfortable<\/strong>. The sentence compares this chair with that chair. \u201cComfortable\u201d is a longer adjective, so its comparative form is made with \u201cmore,\u201d not with -er<\/strong>. The sentence means that one chair gives a higher level of comfort than the other.<\/p>\n

Question 8 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is worse<\/strong>. The sentence compares today\u2019s weather with yesterday\u2019s weather. \u201cBad\u201d is an irregular adjective, so its comparative form is not \u201cbadder.\u201d The correct comparative form is \u201cworse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 9 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the largest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the city\u201d shows that one park is compared with all the parks in the city. This requires a superlative form. \u201cLarge\u201d ends in \u201ce,\u201d so we add only -st<\/strong> and use \u201cthe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 10 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is lighter<\/strong>. The word \u201cthan\u201d shows that two bags are being compared. \u201cLight\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -er<\/strong> to make the comparative form. The sentence means that one bag has less weight than the other.<\/p>\n

Question 11 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is more interesting<\/strong>. The sentence compares this story with the first story. \u201cInteresting\u201d is a longer adjective, so we use \u201cmore\u201d to form the comparative. The word \u201cthan\u201d clearly shows that a comparative adjective is needed.<\/p>\n

Question 12 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the kindest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cI know\u201d suggests that one person is being compared with all the people known by the speaker. This requires a superlative form. \u201cKind\u201d is a short adjective, so the correct form is made with \u201cthe\u201d and -est<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 13 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is cheaper<\/strong>. The sentence compares the red car with the black car. \u201cCheap\u201d is a short adjective, so we add -er<\/strong> to form the comparative. The word \u201cthan\u201d confirms that the sentence needs a comparative form.<\/p>\n

Question 14 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is the quietest<\/strong>. The phrase \u201cin the village\u201d shows that one place is compared with all places in the village. This means a superlative adjective is required. \u201cQuiet\u201d can take -est<\/strong>, and superlatives usually need \u201cthe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Question 15 Explanation<\/h2>\n

The correct answer is better<\/strong>. The sentence compares her English now with her English last year. \u201cGood\u201d has an irregular comparative form, so we do not say \u201cgooder.\u201d The correct comparative form is \u201cbetter.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
