Let’s go step by step to solve each sentence. We need to pick the right adjective from the word box and change it to its
superlative form (the “most” or “-est” version) to fit the blank.
Here’s the word box again:
> good, quiet, dull, ugly
> wild, poor, busy, strange
Now let’s look at each sentence one by one.
---
1. I have never heard her voice. She is the __________ person.

4. Don’t use that knife. It’s the __________ one in the kitchen.
→ Why not use it? Probably because it’s bad →
worst? But “bad” isn’t in the box. Wait — we have “good”. The opposite of good is bad, but we don’t have “bad”. Hmm… maybe “dull”? A dull knife doesn’t cut well. That makes sense!
Superlative of “dull” =
dullest
✔ Answer:
dullest
*(Note: Some might think “worst”, but since “worst” isn’t in the word box, and “dull” is, we go with “dullest”)*
