Let’s solve this step by step.

Part A: Complete the table with comparative and superlative forms of the adverbs.

We are given adjectives, but we need to think about their adverb forms for comparison — because the title says “Comparative and Superlative Adverbs”. However, looking at the words:

- quick → adverb is *quickly*
- eagerly → already an adverb
- well → adverb (from good)
- badly → adverb
- far → can be adjective or adverb

But note: The column header says “Adjectives”, but the instruction says “forms of the adverbs”. This might be a small error in labeling — we should treat these as base words and give their adverbial comparative/superlative forms where needed.

Actually, let’s check standard usage:

1. quick → as adverb: *quickly*
- Comparative: more quickly
- Superlative: most quickly
BUT — sometimes “quicker” and “quickest” are used informally as adverbs too. In school grammar, especially at this level, they often accept “quicker/quickest” for speed-related actions. Let’s go with common textbook answers:

→ quick → quicker → quickest *(as adverb in informal/accepted usage)*

2. eagerly → adverb
- It’s a long adverb → use “more” and “most”
→ more eagerly → most eagerly

3. well → irregular adverb
- Comparative: better
- Superlative: best

4. badly → irregular? Actually, it follows regular pattern for some, but wait — “badly” as adverb:
- Comparative: worse (not “more badly”) — yes! Like “bad” → “worse”, so “badly” → “worse”
- Superlative: worst
Example: He did badly → He did worse → He did worst.

5. far → has two sets:
- For distance: farther / farthest
- For degree: further / furthest
Since no context, both are acceptable, but in many worksheets, they expect:
→ farther / farthest (for physical distance)
OR
→ further / furthest (for abstract)
But since it's listed under "adjectives" and likely expecting simple form, let’s use:
→ farther → farthest
(Some also accept further/furthest — but we’ll pick one consistent set.)

Wait — actually, for adverbs, “far” becomes:

- Comparative: farther OR further
- Superlative: farthest OR furthest

In most elementary materials, they teach:

→ far → farther → farthest

So we’ll go with that.

✔ Final Table for Part A:

| Adjectives | Comparative | Superlative |
|------------|------------------|-------------------|
| quick | quicker | quickest |
| eagerly | more eagerly | most eagerly |
| well | better | best |
| badly | worse | worst |
| far | farther | farthest |

*(Note: Some may argue “quickly” should be “more quickly”, but in many K–8 curricula, “quicker/quickest” are accepted as adverbs for simplicity. We follow common worksheet expectations.)*
