• A. This is more beautiful than all other gardens in the city of Bangalore.
• B. This is the most beautiful amongst all gardens in the city of Bangalore.
• C. There are more beautiful gardens in the city of Bangalore than this.
• D. This is one of the many beautiful gardens in the city of Bangalore

Answer 1

The correct option is B This is the most beautiful amongst all gardens in the city of Bangalore.

An adjective can exist in three forms-positive, comparative and superlative. The positive form is the base form of the adjective. The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. The superlative form expresses the highest degree. For adjectives with three syllables or more, the comparative degree is formed using the word 'more' and the superlative degree, using the word, 'most'.

The adjective, 'beautiful' (with three syllables) is the positive form. Its comparative degree of comparison is 'more beautiful'. Its superlative degree of comparison is 'most beautiful'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Options A and C are incorrect as the word, 'more beautiful' is the comparative form and not the superlative form.

Option D is incorrect as the phrase, 'one of the many beautiful gardens' uses the word, 'beautiful' which is the positive form and not the superlative form.
