Question

he superlative form of an adjective should only be used when comparing A. a person to him or herself. B. more than two things. C. two people or three items. D. one thing to another.

Answer 1

We use the superlative form of an adjective when comparing B) MORE THAN TWO THINGS.

Superlative adjectives express the extreme or highest degree of a quality of one thing in a group of things.

The other options are incorrect because when we compare two things we should use comparative adjectives and if we are just describing a person we use adjectives in their base form.

Answer 2

The superlative form of an adjective should only be used when comparing B. more than two things.

We use a superlative adjective to describe one thing in a group of three or more things:

- Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

- My mother's cooking is the best in the family.

- You have the curliest hair I have ever seen.
