Change of Degrees-

• A sentence can have adjectives with positive, comparative, or superlative degrees. In the sentence given the degree of comparison is the superlative degree.
• We are instructed to start the sentence with 'Very few...'. This type of sentence pattern is used for a positive degree when changed from superlative.
• The pattern that has to be followed for the same is " Very few + noun+ as adjective as + pronoun"
• So we look at the sentence in the superlative degree and find that the noun is scientist, the adjective greatest will become great in the positive degree of comparison. The pronoun for the noun will become 'him'.
• The sentence will be "Very few+ scientists are+ as great as + him.
