Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

Lake Baikal is _____ lake in the world.

• A. deeper
• B. the deepest
• C. deep
• D. deepest

Answer 1

The correct option is B the deepest

The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.

'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun.

'Deepest' is the superlative form.

Hence Option B is correct.

'Deeper' is comparative form. Thus Option A is incorrect.

'Deep' is the positive form so option C is incorrect.

As 'the world' is used in the sentence use of determiner 'the' is necessary, option D is incorrect.
