• Adjectives are the figures of speech that modify nouns and pronouns to make them more specific.
• The three degrees of adjectives are - Positive, comparative, and superlative.
• In the first sentence, Two people are being compared we will use a comparative degree of the adjective by adding -er.
• So the correct option will be Older.
• In the second sentence, Two varieties of fruits are compared so we will use the second-degree adjective
• so the correct option will be sweeter.
• Superlative degrees of adjectives are used when an object is at extreme limits of quality.
• it is usually prefixed by 'the'. The superlative degree used is by adding -est.
• So, in the third sentence, the correct option is longest.
• In the fourth sentence, the correct form of degree is positive as the sentence is describing noun, 'the watch' without any comparison.
• So the correct option is Slim.

Hence, the correct sentences are -

1. Karan is older than Neelu.

3. June 21st is the longest day of the year
