Question

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:
It was the most sharpest knife of all they had in the kitchen.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. most sharp
• C. sharpest
• D. sharp

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

sharpest

Double superlative is the use of both most and the suffix -est to indicate the superlative form of an adjective which is wrong grammatically. Here, most and sharpest both are used. 'Sharpest' itself is a superlative degree thus, option C is the correct answer.
