Question

Interchange the following sentence with positive, comparative or superlative degree of comparison.

The Portuguese musical tradition known as fado, or "fate," has been called the Portuguese blues because of their songs that bemoan someone's misfortune, especially the loss of romantic love.

• A. Of their songs that bemoan someone's
• B. Of their songs bemoaning their
• C. Its songs bemoan
• D. The songs that bemoaned
• E. Of how it bemoans their

Answer 1

The correct option is C Its songs bemoan

It is possible to change the degrees of comparison without changing the meaning of the sentence. The given sentence is in the positive degree.

The underlined part of the sentence can be replaced with 'its songs bemoan' as the word 'someone's' is not required in it.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
