Answers
Answer:
In the question, donkey and lion are the nouns. The words 'live' and 'dead' tell something more about the character, i.e. the quality of the nouns donkey and lion, respectively. Adjective of Quality describes the state or characteristic of a noun, and as live and dead tell the quality of noun, they are adjectives of quality.
The adjective better, shows a comparison between the nature of two nouns, donkey and lion. Thus, it is Comparative Adjective.
Option A is incorrect because 'live' doesn't tell "how much" nor does 'better' demonstrate anything. So it isn't a Demonstrative Adjective.
Option B is incorrect because 'better' is a comparative adjective and not an adjective of quality.
Option C is incorrect because 'better' does not refer to an individual member of a group, rather it compares two nouns. Hence it is not a distributive numeral adjective.
As option A, satisfies botht the conditions, it is correct option.
