Here are the correct answers for your English test.
Part A: Adjectives (Comparative and Superlative)
Rule to remember:
* Use
comparative (e.g., *better, more popular*) when comparing two things or using the word "than".
* Use
superlative (e.g., *the best, the most popular*) when talking about one thing being number one in a group, usually with "the" and words like "ever" or "in the world".
1.
the most beautiful
*(We use superlative because it says "in the world".)*
2.
prettier
*(We use comparative because of the word "than".)*
3.
the most popular
*(Superlative because she is the number one girl at school.)*
4.
the worst
*(Superlative. The superlative of "bad" is irregular: bad -> worse -> the worst.)*
5.
easier
*(Comparative. It compares studying now to studying before. Note the spelling: easy becomes easier.)*
6.
better
*(Comparative. The comparative of "good" is irregular: good -> better.)*
7.
the worst
*(Superlative. Again, bad -> the worst.)*
8.
the trendiest
*(Superlative. Trendy ends in 'y', so we change it to 'i' and add -est.)*
