Question

Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

Neem tastes a little ______ but is very useful.

• A. bitter
• B. bitterly
• C. more bitter
• D. bitterest

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

bitter

'a little' is followed by the positive degree of adjective, so the correct answer is 'bitter'. 'more bitter' is the comparative form, 'bitterest' does not exist and 'bitterly' is an adverb.
