Let's solve each question step by step:



---

1. Alice has a bald. The _______ one is red.
- "Bald" seems to be a typo or misprint. Likely meant to be "ball" or "hat". But regardless, we’re comparing two things — one is red, and we're choosing between bigger or biggest.
- Since only two items are being compared ("the one" vs. another), use bigger.
- Answer: bigger

> *Note:* This sentence might be poorly worded. It could mean: "Alice has a ball. The bigger one is red." That would make sense.

---

2. Peter is _____ than Mark.
- We are comparing two people: Peter and Mark.
- Use comparative form: "taller" (not "tallest", which is superlative).
- Answer: taller

---

3. Who has the _____ grades in your class?
- We're asking about the person with the best grades among the entire class → superlative.
- Use highest (since "grades" is plural, but "highest" fits grammatically).
- Answer: highest

---

4. How tall is the _____ story in the world?
- Asking about the tallest building (or story?) in the world → superlative.
- Use tallest.
- Answer: tallest

---

5. Is your coat _____ than mine?
- Comparing two coats → comparative.
- Use shorter.
- Answer: shorter

---

6. Which baby sister is the _____ baby?
- Comparing multiple baby sisters → need superlative.
- But options are: more / most
- However, "baby" is not typically used with "more/most" for size or age unless it's "most adorable", etc.
- If it's asking which baby sister is the youngest or smallest, we should use youngest or smallest, but those aren’t options.
- Given the choices: more or most, and since it says "the _____ baby", likely expecting most as in "the most [adjective]".
- But without an adjective, this is awkward. Possibly a typo.
- Assuming it's supposed to be something like "Which baby sister is the most playful?" or similar.
- But as written: "the _____ baby" — perhaps it's missing an adjective.
- Best guess: if it's asking which is the oldest or youngest, but again, not given.
- Given the options: more (comparative) vs most (superlative), and the structure "the _____ baby", we must pick most.
- Answer: most

> ⚠️ This question may have a typo or missing context.

---

7. Eric’s fish is _____ than Alan’s fish.
- Comparing two fish → comparative.
- Use larger (not "large").
- Answer: larger

---

Final Answers:



1. bigger
2. taller
3. highest
4. tallest
5. shorter
6. most
7. larger

Summary of Rules Used:


- "-er" = comparative (used when comparing two things)
- "-est" = superlative (used when comparing three or more things)
- "more" / "most" = used for adjectives that don’t take "-er"/"-est" (e.g., "interesting", "beautiful")
- But here, "most" was needed for a superlative form.
