Question

Ram is one of the smartest boys.

(Choose the correct positive degree transformation from the following alternatives)

i) Ram is a smarter than most other boys.

ii) Very few boys are as smart as Ram.

iii) No other boy is as smart as Ram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option ii

Explanation:

• Very few boys are as smart as Ram

Answer 2

The answer is option ii.

Very few boys are as smart as Ram.

• Adjectives can be divided into three degrees of comparison based on their intensity. They are the positive, comparative, and superlative degrees.

• Since Ram is 'one of the smartest boys,' there are other boys in class who are also as smart as Ram.

• Therefore, while changing to the positive degree, we need to use 'very few' to show that a few other boys are also there who are as smart as Ram.
