Question

Identify the degree of comparison in the following sentence:
Ryan is as tall as Tom.

• A. Positive
• B. Comparative
• C. Superlative
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is A Positive

The statement is positive, because the nouns in comparison aren't different from each other in terms of height, they're the same, hence the option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because the comparative 'taller than' isn't used. Option C is incorrect because the superlative phrase 'the tallest' isn't in the sentence. Option D is incorrect because the degree of comparison of the statement is Positive.
