Question

Use the superlative degree of comparison in the following sentence:
This is _____ (easy) game I have played.

• A. easiest
• B. the easiest
• C. the easyiest
• D. the most easy

Answer 1

The correct option is B the easiest

In this sentence, we will learn the use of the degree of an adjective with that of a definite article. If we look into the degree first, it denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality, which is the game. For this reason, we need to use the superlative degree for an answer. We also use the definite article 'the' before adjectives in the superlative degree.

Option A: It uses the correct superlative degree but omits the article.

Option B: Is the correct choice since it is has the correct superlative degree as well as the article.

Option C: "easyiest" is the wrong usage of spelling. Whenever a word ends with "y", in the superlative and comparative form the "y" is replaced with "iest" or "ier" respectively. So this is the wrong choice.

Option D: "The most easy" can be written in one word as "easiest." So D is also the wrong choice.

Option B is the right answer.
