Q1 15

Question 1: Mount Everest is ___ mountain in the world.

Question 1 options
'The tallest' is correct because superlative adjectives use 'the' before them and add '-est' to one-syllable adjectives like 'tall'. 'More tall' is a comparative form, not superlative. 'Most tall' incorrectly uses 'most' with a one-syllable adjective. 'Taller' is a comparative, not a superlative.
Q2 15

Question 2: This is ___ day of the whole year for our family.

Question 2 options
'The happiest' is correct because two-syllable adjectives ending in '-y' change the 'y' to 'i' and add '-est' to form the superlative. 'The most happiest' is a double superlative and incorrect. 'The more happy' is comparative, not superlative. 'The happier' is also comparative, not superlative.
Q3 15

Question 3: Superlative adjectives are used to compare three or more items and always use the article 'the' before them.

Question 3 options
True because superlative adjectives express the highest or lowest degree among three or more items, and they always require 'the' before the superlative form (e.g., 'the tallest', 'the most beautiful').
Q4 15

Question 4: Which situation correctly uses a superlative adjective?

Question 4 options
'She is the smartest student in the class' is correct because a superlative adjective is used to show the highest degree of a quality among three or more items (the whole class). Comparing two things requires a comparative adjective, not a superlative.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • church
  • in the city
  • This is
  • the oldest

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'This is the oldest church in the city' because superlative adjectives require 'the' before them, '-est' is added to the one-syllable adjective 'old', and the superlative phrase comes before the noun it describes.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence uses the superlative adjective correctly?

Question 6 options
'This is the most comfortable chair in the room' is correct because adjectives with three or more syllables use 'the most' to form the superlative. 'The comfortablest' is incorrect formation. 'More comfortable' is a comparative form. 'Most comfortable' without 'the' is missing the required article.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: Which phone should I buy? B: Get that one. It has ___ battery life of all the phones here.

Question 7 options
'The longest' is correct because the dialogue compares all the phones in the shop (three or more items), so a superlative adjective is needed. 'Longer' and 'more long' are comparative forms used for two items. 'Most long' incorrectly uses 'most' with a one-syllable adjective instead of '-est'.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses a superlative adjective rather than a comparative adjective?

Question 8 options
'She is the youngest player on the team' correctly uses the superlative because it compares one person against all team members (three or more). The other options all use comparative forms ('younger than', 'more young', 'younger') which are used when comparing only two things.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • meal
  • That was
  • I have ever eaten
  • the worst

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'That was the worst meal I have ever eaten' because 'worst' is the irregular superlative of 'bad', it follows 'the', and the relative clause 'I have ever eaten' comes after the noun.
Q10 15

Question 10: The Amazon River is one of ___ rivers in the world.

Question 10 options
'The deepest' is correct because the sentence compares the Amazon to all rivers in the world (three or more), requiring a superlative. Additionally, one-syllable adjectives like 'deep' take '-est'. 'The more deep' and 'deeper' are comparative forms. 'The most deep' incorrectly uses 'most' with a one-syllable adjective.
Q11 15

Question 11: Look at this sentence: 'This is the biggest sale our shop has ever had.' Which statement about the superlative 'biggest' is true?

Question 11 options
'Biggest' doubles the final consonant before adding '-est' because 'big' ends in consonant-vowel-consonant (c-v-c). This is a standard spelling rule for short adjectives with this pattern. The doubling applies to the final consonant only, not all consonants.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite using a superlative: 'No other student in the school works harder than Lisa.' → Lisa is ___ student in the school.

Question 12 options
'The hardest-working' is correct because the original sentence means Lisa works harder than every other student, which is expressed as a superlative. 'The most hard' incorrectly applies 'most' to a one-syllable adjective. 'Harder' is a comparative. 'The hardest' alone, without '-working', does not describe a student accurately in this context; however, among the given options 'the hardest-working' is the most accurate transformation.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct superlative rule it uses.

Question 13 options
This is the cheapest option in the menu.
July is the hottest month of the year here.
This is the most difficult exam I have taken.
She is the busiest person in the office.
One-syllable adjective: add '-est'
Consonant-vowel-consonant adjective: double final consonant, add '-est'
Two-syllable adjective ending in '-y': change 'y' to 'i', add '-est'
Three-or-more syllable adjective: use 'the most'

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Superlative forms differ based on the number of syllables and spelling of the adjective: one-syllable adjectives add '-est', CVC adjectives double the final consonant before '-est', adjectives ending in '-y' change to '-iest', and adjectives with three or more syllables use 'the most'.
Q14 15

Question 14: The adjective 'good' follows regular superlative rules and becomes 'the goodest'.

Question 14 options
False because 'good' is an irregular adjective. It does not follow the normal '-est' rule. Its superlative form is 'the best', which must be memorised as a special exception.
Q15 15

Question 15: A student wants to say that among all cities she has visited, Paris impressed her the most. Which sentence expresses this meaning most accurately?

Question 15 options
'Paris is the most impressive city I have ever visited' is correct because it uses the superlative to express the highest degree among all cities visited. 'More impressive than most cities' uses a comparative structure and is less precise. The other options use comparative forms that do not convey the idea of an absolute extreme among all visited cities.
