Section: I Language study. Q.1. Change the degree into PD and CD * China is one of the largest countries in the world. (Convert into Positive degree and Comparative degree)
Answers
Explanation:
An adjective can exist in three forms-positive, comparative and superlative. The positive form is the base form of the adjective. The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. The superlative form expresses the highest degree. For adjectives with a single syllable, the comparative degree is formed by suffixing '-er' and the superlative degree is formed by suffixing '-est'.
The adjective, 'large' (which is monosyllabic) is the positive form. Its comparative degree of comparison is 'larger'. Its superlative degree of comparison is 'largest '. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Options A and D are incorrect as 'large' used in these sentences is the positive form, not the comparative form.
Answer:
No other country in the world is as large as China. PD
No other country in the world is larger than China.
