Question

United states is the greatest buyer ( choose correct positive degree)

Answer 1

No other buyer is as great as United States.

Explanation:

• An adjective is used in three forms they are positive, comparative and superlative. With each degree the quality of the noun increases.
• Great is positive, greater is comparative and greatest is superlative. The article "the" is always placed in front of the superlative word.
• In the given superlative degree, "The greatest buyer" is used, thus "no other" is used in positive degree.

Answer 2

Positive Degree can be defined as the kind of adjective or adverb that is devoid of any kind of comparison.

In the given sentence, we have;

United States is the greatest buyer.

From the sentence, it can be inferred that the only adjective in it is in the Superlative form. That is, the word "greatest" is the superlative degree of the actual word "great", which in turn is a positive degree by itself.

If we are to convert the superlative form into the positive form, the resulting sentence would be as follows;

No other buyer is as great as the United States.
