Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Who is _____________ footballer in Turkey?

• A. very good
• B. a better
• C. the best
• D. best

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the best

A superlative adjective compares three or more nouns. This takes the comparison of nouns to the highest degree. In this particular sentence, the comparison is being done between all the footballers in Turkey which takes it to the superlative degree. We would be using the superlative degree of good in this case, which is "best". This restricts our options to C and D. Now, when we write a sentence in superlative degree we always use "the" in front of the adjective. So "the best" is the correct option.

Option C is correct.
