Answer 2

Explanation:

adjectives are used to describe, identify, modify or quantify nouns or pronouns. Adjectives have three degrees that compare one thing to another.

The three degrees of adjectives are positive, comparative and superlative. The comparative and superlative degrees are used to compare between two or more subjects or objects.

For example,

Tina is smarter than Abhishek

In this sentence, the comparative degree (smarter) of the adjective 'smart' is used to compare between the two persons.

Tina is the smartest girl in the class.

In this sentence, the superlative degree (smartest) of the same adjective is used to compare a person against two or more people.

The superlative adjective is also used to qualify a person or an object as the best among all its counterparts. For example, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
