Let's solve this step-by-step.
---
Part A: Complete the table with the comparative and superlative forms of the adverbs.
We need to convert the given
adverbs into their
comparative and
superlative forms.
| Adjectives | Comparative | Superlative |
|------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| quick | quicker | quickest |
| eagerly | more eagerly | most eagerly |
| well | better | best |
| badly | worse | worst |
| far | farther/further | farthest/furthest |
>
✔ Notes:
> -
Quick → "quickly" is the adverb, so its comparative is
quicker, superlative is
quickest.
> -
Eagerly → irregular; uses
more/most for comparison.
> -
Well → irregular: better / best
> -
Badly → irregular: worse / worst
> -
Far → can be
farther/further (comparative),
farthest/furthest (superlative). Both are acceptable, though "farther" is often used for physical distance, "further" for abstract.

Part B: Complete the blanks using the adverbs provided in the box.
Adverbs to choose from:
patiently, tastiest, better, longer
1.
Mom’s strawberry cake is the ________ I have ever had.
→ This is a
superlative form needed.

2.
I almost beat Dena at chess. I played well, but she played ________.
→ We're comparing two people — “I” vs. “she”.
→ Since she won, she played
better than me.
✔ Answer: *better*
3.
The waiter ________ took the order.
→ We need an adverb that describes how he took the order.
→ “Patiently” makes sense — he waited calmly.
✔ Answer: *patiently*
4.
Elephants live ________ than lions.

comparative.
