The Comparative Degree denotes the existence of a higher degree of the quality than the positive. It is used when two things (or two sets of things) are compared.
The format for comparative degree is '<adjective> + er than' or 'more/less <adjective> than'.
The correct comparative form for this sentence will be either, ' a little warmer ... than' or 'more warmer ... than'. Hence option D is correct.
In option A and option C, 'that' is used so the options are incorrect.
'Warm' is the positive form so option B is incorrect.
'Warmest' is the superlative form so option E is incorrect.

Correct the following sentence.
Which is the easier to learn - French, German or English?
Report Question
0%
Which is the easiest to learn - French, German or English?
0%
Which is the more easier to learn - French, German or English?
0%
Which is the most easiest to learn - French, German or English?
0%
Which is the most easy to learn - French, German or English?
Explanation
Easy is an adjective, which has degrees of comparison. In the given example, because the comparison is among all the things listed, the degree will be superlative. Therefore, the suffix "-est" will be added to the base form of the adjective easy. So, just by virtue of degree of comparison, Options B and D are eliminated, since, easier is the comparative form and easy is the positive form of comparison. Easy is a one syllable word, which requires only the addition of suffixes "-er" or "-est" to indicate the degree of comparison. The words much, more and most are used to determine the degrees of comparison when the given adjective has more than one syllable. Thus, option C is also ineligible. Option A is the correct one since it employs the correct form of the superlative degree with the use of the article "the" preceding it.
Fill in the blank with the correct option:
Don't you agree that this is the ___ problem of the two?
Report Question
0%
serious
0%
more serious
0%
most serious

Explanation
The sentence is comparing two problems. Even though the blank is preceded by the definite article 'the,' we won't use the superlative form here because there are only two things being compared. So, the most appropriate answer is 'more serious'.
Choose the option that fills the blank with the most suitable word:
This metal is the _____ metal of all.
Report Question
0%
harder
0%
hard
0%
hardest
0%
as hard as
Explanation
Option A is incorrect because it is of the comparative degree, which is used when two things are compared, whereas the noun 'metal' is being compared to all metals as a group, hence it's of the superlative degree. Option B is incorrect because 'hard' is a positive adjective, which does not make a comparison. Option C is correct, 'hardest' is a superlative that refers to the highest degree of the quality 'hardness' in comparison to all metals. Option D is incorrect because 'as hard as' is of the positive degree of comparison used when two things are equal in quality, here 'metal' and 'all metals' are not equal in terms of hardness.
Fill in the blanks with the suitable option:
This route to the school is not only ______ than the one we usually take, but is also _____ crowded.
Report Question
0%
short, little
0%
shorter, little
0%
short, less
0%
shorter, less
Explanation
From the given context, the word 'than', a
fter the first blank
indicates that there is a comparison between the distance to school by two routes, i.e. 'this route' and 'the one we usually take'. As there is comparison between two quantities, the correct degree of adjective will be comparative degree. From the given options, 'shorter' is a comparative adjective, whereas 'short' is a positive adjective, so options A and C are eliminated. So, either option B or D is correct. Similarly, in second blank, there's a comparison between the crowd on the two mentioned routes. Thus, the comparative form of the adjective should be used. The word little is the positive form of the adjective 'little', whereas its comparative form is 'less'. Thus, considering both the conditions, the correct option is D.
Fill in the blank with the correct option:
There were coconut trees on ________ side of the road.
Report Question
0%
either
0%
neither
0%
each
0%
every
Explanation
'Each' stresses on individual members of a group. Here it stresses that both the sides have coconut trees. Hence, option C is correct. 'Either' is a determiner which means 'one or the other'. Sometimes, it can mean 'each' in expressions like 'on either side'. Hence option A is also correct. 'Neither' is the negative equivalent of 'either'. The sentence does not call for a negative determiner, hence option B is incorrect. Option D modifies nouns which are three or more in its numerical value. Since the numerical value of the noun here is two, this option is incorrect.

Report Question
0%
better
0%
good
0%
best
0%
more better
Explanation
The given options are all degrees of the base adjective: good.
'Good' is an adjective of the positive degree of comparison, used when two individuals have the same level of the mentioned quality: She is as good in studies as he is. It uses the words 'as...as'.
'Better' is an adjective of the comparative degree of comparison, used when one thing or person has a higher degree or level than the other: She is a better student than her brother. It used the comparative word 'than'.
'Best' is an adjective of the superlative degree. It is used when a person or thing has the highest level or degree in something: She is the best student in this class. The adjective in the superlative degree must be preceded by the article 'the'.
The given sentence compares two situations, 'managing present affairs' and 'regretting past mistakes'; also, 'than' is a comparative conjunction. Hence 'better' is the most suitable option and A is correct.
Option B is incorrect because a sentence that uses 'good' in the positive degree of comparison must use the conjunctions 'as ... as' and not 'than'.
Option C is incorrect because when 'best' is used, the article 'the' always precedes it; here it doesn't.
Option D is incorrect because the comparative form of 'good' is better, 'more better' is grammatically incorrect.

Option D saw is the past form of the verb 'see', so it is incorrect.

Option C: 'Bluer' is an adjective in the comparative degree. Also, 'than' indicates comparison.
Together, the phrase 'bluer than' is in the comparative degree. Hence option C is correct.
Option A is incorrect because the adjective 'blue' on its own does not indicate any comparison.

Use the superlative degree of comparison in the following sentence:
From all the women in the team, she has _____ (long) hair.
Report Question
0%
the longest
0%
as long as
0%
longer than
0%
long
Explanation
This a question related to the degree of the adjectives. A
djectives are used to describe, identify, modify or quantify nouns or pronouns. Adjectives have three degrees that compare one thing to another.
The three degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative and superlative. The comparative and superlative degrees are used to compare between two and more than two subjects or objects respectively. In this question, where the noun is 'hair,' the comparison is made between more than two women. This explains that in this case a superlative degree must be used. We always use 'the' before a superlative adjective.
Option A: "the longest" is the superlative degree of long so this is the correct answer
Option B: "As long as" is inappropriate in this as this phrase is used while comparing between two individuals having almost the same description. However, the sentence does not properly fit in the sentence so it is anyways wrong.
Option C: "Longer" is used in case of comparative degree. With that, the phrase does not fit properly.
Option D: "Long" does not give any kind of comparison with "all the women" stated in the question.
Option A is the right answer

Option B: Is the correct choice as it is in the positive degree. We use 'as ___ as' when we want to equate the qualities of things.
Option C: "most" is used in case of superlative degree
Option D: It is not used while taking into consideration the degree of adjectives.
Option B is the correct answer.
