Explanation:
We are asked to find the
comparative adjective in each sentence. A comparative adjective compares two things and usually ends in *-er* (like faster, stronger) or uses *more* (like more interesting). In the examples given at the top:
- “faster” compares Ken and Mike → Ken is
faster than Mike
- “stronger” compares Roger and Peter
- “funnier” compares Mary and Jane
Now let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick out the word that shows comparison (the comparative adjective):
1. *This book is better than that one.*
→ “better” is the comparative of “good”.
✔
2. *My headache is worse than yours.*
→ “worse” is the comparative of “bad”.
✔
3. *This movie is longer than the other.*
→ “longer” is the comparative of “long”.
✔
4. *My mother is angrier than my father.*
→ “angrier” is the comparative of “angry**”.
✔
(Note: “angrier” is correct — not “more angry”, though both can be used; here it's spelled with -er.)
5. *Your piece of cake is bigger than mine.*
→ “bigger” is the comparative of “big”.
✔
6. *The river is broader here than it is there.*
→ “broader” is the comparative of “broad”.
✔
(Also acceptable: “wider”, but the sentence uses “broader”.)
7. *My sister was chubbier than me as a baby.*
→ “chubbier” is the comparative of “chubby**”.
✔
8. *My room is cleaner than Jerry’s.*
→ “cleaner” is the comparative of “clean”.
✔
9. *I will be later getting home than usual.*
→ “later” is the comparative of “late**”.
✔
(Note: “later” is correct — not “more late”.)
All answers are single-word comparative adjectives.
Final Answer:
1. better
2. worse
3. longer
4. angrier
5. bigger
6. broader
7. chubbier
8. cleaner
9. later
