Let’s go step by step through each sentence. We’ll use the table at the top to help us pick the right form of the adjective — whether we’re comparing two things or more than two things.

Remember:
- For two things: use *better, worse, farther, more*
- For more than two things: use *best, worst, farthest, most* → and add “the” before it!

a) The story about dragons was ________ than the story about dinosaurs. (good)
→ Comparing two stories → so we use better (not “best”)
→ This sentence compares: two things

✔ Fill in: better
✔ Circle: two things

b) Do you think a sore throat is ________ than a cough? (bad)
→ Comparing two things: sore throat vs. cough → use worse
→ This sentence compares: two things

✔ Fill in: worse
✔ Circle: two things

c) Hockey and baseball are good, but I think soccer is ________ sport. (good)
→ Now we’re comparing three sports: hockey, baseball, AND soccer → that’s more than two

→ This sentence compares: more than two things

✔ Fill in: the best
✔ Circle: more than two things

✔ Fill in: the most
✔ Circle: more than two things

f) There were some bad storms last year, but this storm is ________. (bad)
