(1) Only I is correct (2) Both I and II are correct 3) Only II is correct (4) Both I and II are incorrect.
​

Answer 1

Option (2) - Both I and II are correct.

Degrees of adjective

• Degrees of adjectives are used to compare the characteristic of one object with other(s).
• There are three degrees of adjective:

         1. Positive

         2. Comparative

         3. Superlative

• If there is no comparison, we use the positive degree.
• If there is a comparison between two things, we use the comparative degree as in the sentence (I) and (II).
• If we compare one thing with all others, we use a superlative degree.
  
  
  Thus, option 2 is correct.
