Answer 1

Answer:

Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns to make them more specific.

There are 3 degrees of adjectives: Positive, comparative and superlative.

The comparative form of most words is formed by adding '-er' to the original word. The superlative form of the word is formed by adding '-est' to the original word. The word 'the' is used before the superlative degree of words because the superlative degree of the word can indicate one particular thing. In the question given, the sentence talks about 'marks in the history test'.

Option A) 'the better' is incorrect because 'the' is not used with the comparative degree of a word such as 'better'.

Option B) 'best' is incorrect because it should always be preceded by the article 'the'.

Option D) 'the good' is incorrect because 'good' is the positive degree word and 'the' is used with the superlative degree of a word.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) the best.
