Answer 2

Complete the following sentences using an appropriate adjective.

• An Adjective tells something more about a Noun or Pronoun, they can be good, bad, color, number and so on.

(a) She says that her latest book is better than her last one . ( latest / last )

• Here 'latest' means 'time' and 'last' means 'order' of the book.

(b) He called a meeting without any further delay . ( farther / further )

• 'Further' is expressing 'additional', that's why it is used here.

(c) Neeraj is elder than Pankaj . ( older / elder )

• We can also write Neraj is older than Pankaj.

• 'Older' is used to mean both 'living' or non-living things. And here we don't know what is the relationship between Neeraj and Pankaj, so here we can also use 'older'.

• And 'elder' is restricted for 'family' and it is used when we compare someone to other in same family.

(d) Ram lives next to my house. ( nearest / next )

• 'Nearest' is used to refer 'distance' and 'next' is used to mean 'position' or 'order.'
