Answers
Answer:
option a- (a /the) is correct
The correct answers to the given sentences are as follows:-
(i) The banyan tree is the biggest tree in our village.
(biggest is superlative form, therefore the is used)
(ii) The comparative degree of slow is - slower
(slowest is the superlative form)
(iii) The king himself had to hide in a cave.
(in is a preposition of location indicating inside the cave)
(iv) One day the king saw a spider going up the wall.
("a" is used before a consonant, and "an" is used before a vowel. Since "a" is given in the sentence, therefore it should be a spider)
(v) He was very sad and worried.
(worry is complementary with sadness usually)
(vi) The teacher tried to promptly stop Gandhiji
(prompt becomes an adverb and stop is the verb)
(vii) A little seed was buried deep in the soil.
(to plant something by digging up the soil)
