Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A living room is usually __________ than the kitchen.
Report Question
0%
bigger
0%
the bigger
0%
biggest
0%
very big
Explanation
The word 'than' is used in sentences of the comparative degree, where one thing or group is compared to another. The correct option should also be of the comparative degree.
Option A: 'Bigger' is a comparative adjective. It means that the living room is larger in size (bigger) compared to the kitchen. Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'The bigger' should be followed by a noun or pronoun, because 'the' and 'bigger' both modify the noun that follows. 'The bigger room', or 'the bigger one of the two'. In this sentence, the adjective comes after the noun "living room". Hence this option isn't right.
Option C: 'Biggest' is an adjective of the superlative degree. It is used when the quality described is of the highest degree (more than two individuals/groups). It isn't relevant here, since the quality 'big' is compared between two things. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Big' is of the positive degree. It does not indicate any comparison, and simply describes the quality of one thing 'living room' (without expressing that quality in relation to another 'kitchen'). Hence option C is incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
That TV program is ____ than the other one.
Report Question
0%
good
0%
worst
0%
worse
0%
well
Explanation
In the given sentence, 'than' indicates that the two TV programs are being compared to each other. Further, this comparison is of a mutual quality. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of the comparative degree.
Option A is incorrect.
'good' is an adjective in the positive degree and not the comparative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to compare two things.
Option B is incorrect.
'worst' is an adjective in the superlative degree and not the comparative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to compare two things.
Option C is correct. 'worse' is an adjective in the comparative degree. Thus, it meets the required conditions and is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect. 'well' is an adjective in the positive degree and not the comparative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to compare two things.

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
I felt ill on Saturday, but I felt ________ on Sunday.
Report Question
0%
worse
0%
badly
0%
worst
0%
None of the above
Explanation
The given sentence expresses a comparison between how the person 'I' felt on Saturday and Sunday. The word 'ill' is an adjective whose comparative form is 'worse'.
Option A: 'Worse' is a comparative adjective form of 'ill' and completes the sentence. Hence A is correct.
Option B: 'Badly' is an adverb and does not describe the state of being 'felt'. Also, it isn't the comparative form of 'ill'. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Worst' is a superlative adjective which would be used if there were more than two things to compare.
(For e.g. I felt ill on Friday, worse on Saturday and worst on Sunday.')
Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Sally is ____ George.
Report Question
0%
as tall than
0%
so tall as
0%
as tall as
0%
so tall that
Explanation
The given sentence indicates that the Sally's height is equal to George. The answer must thus, be an adjective of the positive degree and must indicate the above meaning.
Option A is incorrect. Here the phrase is in positive degree but, 'than' can only used with the comparative degree. Thus, the phrase itself is grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect.
In 'so tall as' the conjunction 'so...as' is used only to indicate reason. Since the sentence does not indicate reason, option D does not convey the correct meaning and is incorrect.
Option C is correct.
'as tall as' indicates that the Sally's height is the same as George. Also, it is a correct positive degree phrase. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect.
Here the phrase is in the
positive degree but, 'that' is a conjunction used to introduce the subordinate clause. Since there is only one clause in the sentence, the presence of 'that' is useless. Thus, the phrase itself is grammatically
incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
These apples aren't as ____ those.
Report Question
0%
better than
0%
good as
0%
good
0%
better
Explanation
The given sentence is talking about two sets of apples. It indicates that the quality of the apples mentioned first(These apples) is not the same as the quality of the latter mentioned apples(those). Here, the sentence is simply talking about a quality and thus, the answer must be an adjective in the positive degree.
Option A is incorrect. 'better than' is an adjective of the comparative degree and not the positive degree. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is correct. 'good as' is an adjective of positive degree. Also, it conveys the correct meaning and thus, it is the correct answer.
Option C is incorrect. 'good' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. 'good those' makes no sense. There must be a preposition after 'good' to refer to the second set of apples. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect.
'better' is an adjective of the comparative degree and not the positive degree. Thus, it is incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Report Question

most interesting
0%
interesting
0%
more interesting
0%
interestingly
Explanation
In the given sentence, 'than' indicates that the movie is being compared to the book. Further, this comparison is of a mutual quality. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of the comparative degree.
Option A is incorrect. 'most interesting' is an adjective in the superlative degree and not the comparative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to compare two things.
Option B is incorrect. 'interesting' is an adjective in the positive degree and not the comparative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to compare two things.
Option C is correct. 'more interesting' is an adjective in the comparative degree. Thus, it meets the required conditions and is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect. 'interestingly' is an adverb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot be used to indicate a mutual quality of two nouns. Thus, it is incorrect.

0%

Explanation
The given sentence indicates that the subject's height is equal to his father. The answer must thus, be an adjective of the positive degree and must indicate the above meaning.
Option A is incorrect. Here the phrase is in positive degree but, 'than' can only used with the comparative degree. Thus, the phrase itself is grammatically incorrect.
Option B is correct. 'as tall as' indicates that the subject's height is the same as his father. Also, it is a correct positive degree phrase. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option C is incorrect. Here the phrase is in the
positive degree but, 'than' can only used with comparative degree. Thus, the phrase itself is grammatically
incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. In 'so tall as' the conjunction 'so...as' is used only to indicate reason. Since the sentence does not indicate reason, option D does not convey the correct meaning and is incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Linda is thirsty. She wants ___________ glass of milk.
Report Question
0%
other
0%
some
0%
any
0%
another
Explanation
Option D: 'Another' means 'one more', or 'in addition to'. The word applies to the given sentence, which means that 'Linda' wants one more glass of milk. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Other' also means the same thing: 'in addition to'. But, the difference is in their usage.
'Other' is used for plural and uncountable nouns, whereas 'another' is used when the noun is singular "glass of milk".
Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Some' is used for uncountable nouns, but the one here 'glass' is singular and countable.
Option C: 'Any' is used for negative sentences. The given sentence is positive.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.
