Let’s solve this step by step.

---

Part 1: Fill in the blanks using words from the table

We are given these words to choose from:
> ugliest, cleaner, loudest, newest, bigger, prettiest, smallest, old

Note: “old” is not comparative or superlative — it’s just the base form. But we’ll see if it fits anywhere.

We need to pick the right word for each sentence based on meaning and grammar (comparative = -er, superlative = -est).

a) My house is ______ than yours.
→ We’re comparing two houses → use comparative (-er).
Possible: bigger, cleaner, newer? But “newer” isn’t in list — “newest” is superlative. Wait — “bigger” and “cleaner” are comparatives.
“Bigger” makes sense for size of house.
✔ bigger

b) My room is ______ than your room.
→ Again, comparison between two rooms.
Could be “cleaner” (if talking about tidiness) or “bigger”. But since “bigger” was used above, maybe “cleaner” here? Both could work, but let’s check context.
Actually, both can be reused? The instructions don’t say “use each word once”. So we can reuse if needed. But let’s try to match best fit.
“Cleaner” also works well for room.
But wait — look at part d: “She is a ___ girl.” That might take “prettiest” or “ugliest” — so maybe save those.
For now, let’s go with cleaner for b).
✔ cleaner

c) I am ______ girl in the class.
→ “in the class” implies more than two people → superlative (-est).
Options: ugliest, loudest, newest, biggest? Wait — “biggest” not in list. “Prettiest”, “smallest”, “oldest”? “Old” is there but not “oldest” — wait, “oldest” IS in the table? Let me check again.

Table says:
> ugliest, cleaner, loudest, newest, bigger, prettiest, smallest, old

Wait — “old” is listed, but NOT “oldest”. Hmm. That’s odd. Maybe typo? Or perhaps we’re supposed to add -est? No — instruction says “using words from the table”.

Hold on — look at Part 2: they ask to complete tables like “Small => ? => ?”, which suggests we know how to make comparatives/superlatives.

But for Part 1, we must ONLY use words exactly as written in the box.

So available superlatives: ugliest, loudest, newest, prettiest, smallest
Comparatives: cleaner, bigger
Base: old

Back to c): “I am ___ girl in the class.” → needs superlative. Could be “prettiest”, “ugliest”, “smallest”, “loudest”, “newest”.
“Loudest” doesn’t fit for a person unless talking about voice. “Newest” — maybe if she’s new student? Possible. “Smallest” — height? “Prettiest” — appearance. “Ugliest” — negative, unlikely in school worksheet.
Most neutral/common: “prettiest” or “smallest”. But let’s hold.

d) She is a ___ girl.
→ Not comparing to anyone specific → could be superlative (“the prettiest”) but no “the” before blank. Sentence says “a ___ girl” → so probably not superlative? Unless it’s “a prettiest girl” — that’s grammatically wrong. Superlatives usually take “the”.

Ah! Important point:

- Comparative: used with “than” → e.g., bigger than
- Superlative: used with “the” → e.g., the biggest

Look at sentences:

a) ...is ___ than yours → comparative → needs -er word → bigger, cleaner ✔️

b) ...is ___ than your room → same → cleaner or bigger ✔️

c) I am ___ girl in the class → “in the class” implies superlative → should have “the” but it doesn’t! It says “I am ___ girl in the class.” — missing “the”? Or maybe it’s acceptable informally? In worksheets, sometimes they omit “the” for simplicity? Unlikely.

Wait — actually, looking again:

c) I am __________girl in the class. → There’s no space for “the”? Actually, in the original image text you provided, it’s written as:

> c) I am _______________girl in the class.

No “the” before the blank. So if we put a superlative like “prettiest”, it would be “I am prettiest girl...” which is incorrect without “the”.

Unless... maybe one of the words is meant to be used without “the”? Or perhaps “old” is intended here? “I am old girl in the class” — still needs “an” or “the”? “I am an old girl” — possible, but strange.

This is confusing. Let’s look at other sentences.

e) This music is ______________! → exclamation → likely superlative → “loudest” makes perfect sense! Music being loud → “loudest!” ✔

f) This car is ______________! → again, exclamation → could be “newest!” or “biggest!” but “biggest” not in list. “Newest” is there → “This car is newest!” — again, missing “the”, but maybe accepted in informal exclamations? Like “It’s fastest!” — common in speech.

g) My phone is the ______________. → has “the” → definitely superlative → options: ugliest, loudest, newest, prettiest, smallest → “newest” makes sense for phone. ✔ newest

h) Your Grandpa is very ______________. → “very” + adjective → base form or comparative? “Very” goes with base adjectives, not comparatives/superlatives. So “very old” → yes! “old” is in the list. ✔ old

Now back to c) and d)

c) I am ___ girl in the class. → even though no “the”, maybe they expect superlative. Best fit: “prettiest” or “smallest”. Since “smallest” might refer to height/age, and “prettiest” to looks — both possible. But let’s see d).

d) She is a ___ girl. → “a” suggests not superlative. So maybe comparative? But comparatives are “bigger”, “cleaner” — “She is a bigger girl” — possible, but vague. “She is a cleaner girl” — awkward.

Wait — what if we use “old” here? “She is a old girl” — should be “an old girl”, but maybe overlooked. Still, “old” is base form, fits with “a”.

But “old” is already used in h). Can we reuse? Probably yes.

Alternatively, maybe “prettiest” is meant for d), even with “a”? Grammatically incorrect, but perhaps in worksheet context.

Let’s think differently. Look at the cat pictures on the right — three cats, getting smaller? Or cuter? Probably illustrating size or cuteness.

Top cat: big/smiling → middle: medium → bottom: small

So likely related to size: bigger, smaller, smallest.

Also, for music: loud → loudest

Car: new → newest

Phone: newest? Already used? Or maybe “smallest”? Phones can be small.

Grandpa: old → makes sense.

House: bigger than yours → makes sense.

Room: cleaner than your room → makes sense.

Girl in class: if cats show size, maybe “smallest” for c)? “I am smallest girl in the class.” — again, missing “the”, but perhaps accepted.

Then d) “She is a ___ girl.” — if c) is “smallest”, then d) could be “prettiest”? But “a prettiest” is wrong.

Unless... wait, maybe “ugliest” is for d)? “She is a ugliest girl” — worse.

Perhaps the worksheet expects us to ignore the article issue and just pick the most logical word.

Another idea: for c), since it’s “in the class”, and superlative, and “smallest” is available, and matches the cat sizes, let’s go with “smallest”.

For d), “She is a ___ girl.” — maybe “old”? But grandpa is already “old”. Or “cleaner”? Doesn’t fit.

What about “prettiest”? Even with “a”, maybe it’s a mistake in the worksheet. Many ESL worksheets do that.

Or perhaps “ugliest” — but that’s mean.

Let’s list all sentences with best guesses:

a) bigger (house comparison)

b) cleaner (room comparison)

c) smallest (girl in class — superlative, matches cat sizes)

d) prettiest (she is a prettiest girl — grammatically off, but common in such worksheets)

e) loudest (music!)

f) newest (car!) — or “biggest” not available, so “newest”

g) newest (phone is the newest) — conflict with f)

Problem: “newest” can’t be used twice? But instructions don’t prohibit reuse.

In g) “My phone is the ___” — “the” requires superlative. “Newest” fits.

In f) “This car is ___!” — could be “loudest” but music is already loudest. Or “biggest” not available. “Ugliest”? No. “Prettiest”? For a car? Possible. “This car is prettiest!” — okay.

But “prettiest” might be better for d).

Let’s assign:

e) loudest (music)

f) ugliest? No. Newest? But g) needs newest.

g) newest (phone)

f) then what? “Biggest” not in list. “Cleaner”? “This car is cleaner!” — possible, but less exciting.

“Loudest” for car? Also possible.

But music is louder typically.

Perhaps f) is “newest” and g) is “smallest”? Phone can be smallest.

Yes! That works.

So:

g) My phone is the smallest. → makes sense, phones can be small.

f) This car is newest! → okay.

Then c) I am ___ girl in the class. → if “smallest” is used for phone, then for girl, maybe “prettiest”.

d) She is a ___ girl. → “ugliest”? No. “Old”? “She is a old girl” — should be “an”, but maybe.

Or “cleaner”? “She is a cleaner girl” — means tidier, possible.

But let’s use “prettiest” for c) and “ugliest” for d)? No, too negative.

Another approach: look at the word list and see which ones are left.

Words: ugliest, cleaner, loudest, newest, bigger, prettiest, smallest, old

Used so far:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

e) loudest

f) ?

g) ?

h) old

Left: ugliest, newest, prettiest, smallest

For c) and d) and f) and g)

c) I am ___ girl in the class. → superlative → prettiest, ugliest, smallest, newest

d) She is a ___ girl. → base or comparative? But only base left is none; comparatives are used.

Perhaps "prettiest" for c), "ugliest" for d) — but ugly is harsh.

Maybe "smallest" for c), "prettiest" for d) — even with "a".

I recall that in some contexts, "a most beautiful girl" is used, but "a prettiest" is not standard.

Perhaps the worksheet has a typo, and d) should be "the" instead of "a".

Given that, and to make it work, I'll assume:

c) smallest (girl in class)

d) prettiest (she is a prettiest girl — accept as is)

f) newest (car)

g) ugliest? No, phone ugliest? Unlikely.

g) My phone is the ___ — must be superlative. Left: ugliest, prettiest, smallest, newest — but newest and smallest may be used.

If f) is "newest", g) could be "smallest" — phone is the smallest.

Then c) is "prettiest" — I am prettiest girl in the class.

d) "ugliest" — she is a ugliest girl — bad.

Or d) "old" — but h) is already "old".

h) Your Grandpa is very old — good.

So d) must be one of the remaining.

Perhaps "cleaner" for d)? "She is a cleaner girl" — means she keeps herself clean, possible.

But "cleaner" is comparative, and "a cleaner girl" is grammatical — "a" + comparative adjective is fine, e.g., "a better boy".

Yes! "A cleaner girl" is correct English.

Similarly, "a bigger girl", etc.

So for d) "She is a cleaner girl." — but b) is already "cleaner" for room.

Can reuse? Yes.

But let's avoid reuse if possible.

List of words and their types:

- ugliest: superlative

- cleaner: comparative

- loudest: superlative

- newest: superlative

- bigger: comparative

- prettiest: superlative

- smallest: superlative

- old: base

Sentences requiring comparative (with "than"): a, b → need -er words: bigger, cleaner

Sentences with "the" or implying superlative: c, e, f, g → need -est words

Sentence with "very": h → needs base: old

Sentence d: "a ___ girl" → can take comparative or base, but base "old" is used, so comparative: cleaner, bigger — but bigger is for size, cleaner for cleanliness.

"She is a cleaner girl" — acceptable.

"She is a bigger girl" — also acceptable.

But to distribute, let's do:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) smallest (superlative, for girl in class)

d) prettiest — but "a prettiest" is wrong. Unless we interpret as "a very pretty girl", but not.

Perhaps the answer is "old" for d), and "very old" for h), but "old" can be used twice.

"Your Grandpa is very old" and "She is a old girl" — should be "an old girl", but perhaps in worksheet, it's overlooked.

To resolve, let's look for standard answers or logic.

Another idea: for c) "I am ___ girl in the class." — if we use "oldest", but "oldest" is not in the table; only "old" is.

The table has "old", not "oldest". So we can't use "oldest" for c).

Similarly, for d) "a old girl" — incorrect article, but perhaps accepted.

I think the intended answers are:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) smallest

d) prettiest (ignoring the "a" issue)

e) loudest

f) newest

g) ugliest? No, let's say g) smallest, but c) is smallest.

Conflict.

Perhaps g) is "newest", f) is "loudest", but e) is loudest.

Let's count the superlatives needed:

c, e, f, g require superlatives — 4 sentences.

Superlatives in list: ugliest, loudest, newest, prettiest, smallest — 5 words.

Base: old — for h)

Comparatives: cleaner, bigger — for a,b

So for c,e,f,g: choose 4 out of 5 superlatives.

Assign:

e) loudest (music)

f) newest (car)

g) smallest (phone)

c) prettiest (girl in class)

Then d) "She is a ___ girl." — left with "ugliest" — "She is a ugliest girl" — still bad, or "old" — "She is a old girl" — should be "an", but perhaps.

Or "cleaner" — but b) is cleaner.

Use "ugliest" for d) — even though negative, it's in the list.

Perhaps "prettiest" for d), and "ugliest" for c) — but c) is "I am ugliest girl" — self-deprecating, unlikely.

I recall that in some worksheets, they have "ugliest" for objects, not people.

For example, "This is the ugliest car" — but here f) is car, could be "ugliest", but "newest" is better.

Let's swap:

f) This car is ugliest! — possible, but "newest" is more positive.

g) My phone is the newest — good.

c) I am prettiest girl in the class — good.

d) She is a smallest girl — "a smallest" is wrong; should be "the smallest".

This is messy.

Perhaps for d) "She is a old girl." and for h) "Your Grandpa is very old." — reuse "old".

And for c) "I am smallest girl in the class." — accept without "the".

For f) "This car is newest!" — accept without "the".

For g) "My phone is the ugliest." — possible, but why ugliest?

Or "prettiest" for g) — phone is the prettiest — possible.

Then d) "She is a ugliest girl." — still bad.

I think the best compromise is:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) smallest

d) prettiest (assume "a" is a mistake, or in context it's ok)

e) loudest

f) newest

g) ugliest (phone is the ugliest — unusual, but possible)

h) old

But "ugliest" for phone is odd.

Perhaps g) is "prettiest", and d) is "ugliest" — worse.

Another thought: in the word list, "old" is there, and for d) "She is a old girl" — if we consider "old" as the word, and ignore article, and for h) "very old", reuse.

Then for c) "I am prettiest girl" — good.

For g) "My phone is the smallest" — good.

For f) "This car is newest!" — good.

For e) "This music is loudest!" — good.

Then d) "She is a old girl." — and a) bigger, b) cleaner.

Left with "ugliest" unused? But we have to use all? No, the instruction is "using words from the table", not "use all words".

So we can leave "ugliest" unused.

That makes sense.

So final for Part 1:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) prettiest (even though no "the", but commonly used in such contexts)

d) old ("She is a old girl" — should be "an", but perhaps in worksheet, it's accepted, or typo)

e) loudest

f) newest

g) smallest

h) old (reuse)

But "old" used twice, and "prettiest" for c) without "the".

To avoid reuse, for d) use "ugliest", but let's not.

I found a better way: for d) "She is a cleaner girl." — and b) is "cleaner" for room, but reuse is allowed.

Or "bigger" for d), but a) is bigger.

Let's decide:

After careful thought, here's the most logical assignment:

- a) bigger (house comparison)

- b) cleaner (room comparison)

- c) smallest (girl in class — superlative, and matches the small cat)

- d) prettiest (she is a prettiest girl — assume "a" is error, or in context it's "a very pretty girl")

- e) loudest (music)

- f) newest (car)

- g) ugliest (phone is the ugliest — perhaps it's broken or something, but weak)

- h) old (grandpa)

But "ugliest" for phone is poor.

Perhaps g) is "prettiest", and d) is "ugliest" — worse.

I recall that in some versions of this worksheet, the answers are:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) smallest

d) prettiest

e) loudest

f) newest

g) ugliest -- but that doesn't make sense.

Another idea: for g) "My phone is the newest." and for f) "This car is ugliest!" — still bad.

Let's look at the cat pictures: three cats, top large, middle medium, bottom small. So likely for size: bigger, smaller, smallest.

For the sentences, perhaps c) is "smallest", and for d) "She is a bigger girl." — but "bigger" is comparative, and "a bigger girl" is fine.

Then a) is "bigger" for house, so reuse.

So:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) smallest

d) bigger (she is a bigger girl)

e) loudest

f) newest

g) prettiest (phone is the prettiest)

h) old

Then "ugliest" unused, which is fine.

And "prettiest" for phone is okay.

"ugliest" can be left out.

So I'll go with that.

Part 1 answers:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) smallest

d) bigger (reuse)

e) loudest

f) newest

g) prettiest

h) old

But d) "She is a bigger girl." — compared to whom? Not specified, but "a bigger girl" can mean generally larger, so ok.

To avoid reuse, for d) use "old", and h) "very old", reuse "old".

Then g) "prettiest", f) "newest", e) "loudest", c) "smallest", a) "bigger", b) "cleaner", d) "old", h) "old" — "old" used twice.

Acceptable.

Or for d) "ugliest", but let's not.

I think the intended answer for d) is "prettiest", and for c) "smallest", and for g) "newest", f) "loudest", but e) is loudest.

I give up; let's move to Part 2 and come back.

---

Part 2: Complete the table

This is about forming comparatives and superlatives.

The table has columns: base => comparative => superlative

Given:

a) Small => ? => ?

b) Big => ? => ?

c) ? => Cleaner => ?

d) ? => ? => Oldest

e) Ugly => ? => ?

f) ? => Noisier => ?

g) Quiet => ? => ?

h) ? => ? => Prettier -- wait, "Prettier" is comparative, but it's in the superlative column? Let's see the format.

The table is:

a) Small ==> ==>

b) Big ==> ==>

c) ==> Cleaner ==>

d) ==> ==> Oldest

e) Ugly ==> ==>

f) ==> Noisier ==>

g) Quiet ==> ==>

h) ==> ==> Prettier -- here "Prettier" is under the third column, which should be superlative, but "prettier" is comparative. Mistake?

Look at the user input:

> h) ==> ==> Prettier

But "prettier" is comparative, not superlative. Superlative is "prettiest".

Probably a typo in the worksheet. Likely, it should be "Prettiest" for h) third column.

Similarly, j) ==> ==> Newest — "newest" is superlative, good.

i) Dirty ==> ==>

j) ==> ==> Newest

For h) "==> ==> Prettier" — if "Prettier" is in the superlative column, it's wrong. Perhaps it's meant to be the comparative, but the column order is base, comparative, superlative.

In the table, for c) "==> Cleaner ==>" — so second column is comparative.

For f) "==> Noisier ==>" — second column comparative.

For h) "==> ==> Prettier" — third column is "Prettier", which should be superlative, but "prettier" is comparative. So likely, it's a mistake, and it should be "Prettiest".

Similarly, for d) "==> ==> Oldest" — "Oldest" is superlative, good.

For j) "==> ==> Newest" — good.

So for h), probably "Prettiest" is intended, but written as "Prettier". We'll assume it's "Prettiest" for the superlative.

Perhaps "Prettier" is for the comparative column, but it's placed in the third.

Looking at the structure:

The table has three arrows, so three columns: base, comparative, superlative.

For h) it's "==> ==> Prettier" — so Prettier is in the superlative position, which is incorrect.

To resolve, I'll assume that for h), the superlative is "Prettiest", and "Prettier" is a typo.

Similarly, for other rows.

Let's fill based on standard rules.

General rules for comparatives and superlatives:

- One-syllable adjectives: add -er, -est (e.g., small -> smaller -> smallest)

- Two-syllable ending in -y: change y to i, add -er, -est (e.g., ugly -> uglier -> ugliest)

- Two-syllable not ending in -y: often use more/most, but some take -er/-est (e.g., quiet -> quieter -> quietest; pretty -> prettier -> prettiest)

- Irregular: good/better/best, bad/worse/worst, etc.

From the given:

a) Small => smaller => smallest

b) Big => bigger => biggest (but "biggest" not in Part 1 list, but here we can use)

c) ? => Cleaner => ? — "cleaner" is comparative, so base is "clean", superlative "cleanest"

d) ? => ? => Oldest — superlative "oldest", so base "old", comparative "older"

e) Ugly => uglier => ugliest (change y to i)

f) ? => Noisier => ? — "noisier" is comparative, so base "noisy", superlative "noisiest" (change y to i)

g) Quiet => quieter => quietest

h) ? => ? => Prettier — but "Prettier" is comparative, so if it's in superlative column, error. Assume it's "Prettiest", so base "pretty", comparative "prettier", superlative "prettiest"

i) Dirty => dirtier => dirtiest (change y to i)

j) ? => ? => Newest — superlative "newest", so base "new", comparative "newer"

Now for h), since it says "Prettier" in the third column, but it should be superlative, perhaps the worksheet has a mistake, and we should put "prettiest" as superlative, so for h) base is "pretty", comparative "prettier", superlative "prettiest"

Similarly, for others.

So let's write:

a) Small => smaller => smallest

b) Big => bigger => biggest

c) Clean => cleaner => cleanest

d) Old => older => oldest

e) Ugly => uglier => ugliest

f) Noisy => noisier => noisiest

g) Quiet => quieter => quietest

h) Pretty => prettier => prettiest (assuming "Prettier" in the table is a typo for "Prettiest")

i) Dirty => dirtier => dirtiest

j) New => newer => newest

Now back to Part 1.

With this, for Part 1, we can use the words consistently.

For example, in Part 1, "oldest" is not in the table, only "old", so for c) "I am ___ girl in the class." — if we want "oldest", but it's not available, so must use "smallest" or "prettiest".

Similarly, "biggest" not in table, so for a) "bigger" is ok.

So for Part 1, let's finalize:

a) bigger (comparative, from big)

b) cleaner (comparative, from clean)

c) smallest (superlative, from small)

d) prettiest (superlative, from pretty) — even with "a", we'll use it

e) loudest (superlative, from loud) — "loud" not in Part 2, but in Part 1 list

f) newest (superlative, from new)

g) ugliest (superlative, from ugly) — for phone, perhaps it's the ugliest design, or we can use "smallest" but c) is smallest.

g) My phone is the ___ — if we use "ugliest", it's odd, but possible.

Or "prettiest" for g), and "ugliest" for d) — worse.

I think for g) "smallest" is good, and for c) "prettiest".

So:

c) prettiest

g) smallest

Then d) "She is a ___ girl." — left with "ugliest" or "old".

Use "old" for d), and "very old" for h), reuse "old".

So:

d) old

h) old

And "ugliest" unused.

So Part 1:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) prettiest

d) old

e) loudest

f) newest

g) smallest

h) old

Part 2:

a) Small => smaller => smallest

b) Big => bigger => biggest

c) Clean => cleaner => cleanest

d) Old => older => oldest

e) Ugly => uglier => ugliest

f) Noisy => noisier => noisiest

g) Quiet => quieter => quietest

h) Pretty => prettier => prettiest (correcting the typo)

i) Dirty => dirtier => dirtiest

j) New => newer => newest

Now for the final answer, since the user wants only the final answer, and no explanation, I'll provide the answers as per above.

But for Part 1, d) "old" with "a" is grammatically incorrect; should be "an old girl". But in the context, perhaps it's accepted.

To make it correct, for d) use "ugliest", but let's stick with "old" as it's in the list and makes sense for age.

Perhaps the worksheet intends "old" for d) and h).

So I'll go with that.

Final Answer for Part 1:

a) bigger

b) cleaner

c) prettiest

d) old

e) loudest

f) newest

g) smallest

h) old

For Part 2:

a) smaller, smallest

b) bigger, biggest

c) Clean, cleanest

d) Old, older

e) uglier, ugliest

f) Noisy, noisiest

g) quieter, quietest

h) Pretty, prettiest

i) dirtier, dirtiest

j) New, newer

Now to box the answer.

Since the user said "Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]", and there are two parts, I'll provide both.

But in the response format, it's one Final Answer section.

So I'll write:

Final Answer:
Part 1:
a) bigger
b) cleaner
c) prettiest
d) old
e) loudest
f) newest
g) smallest
h) old

Part 2:
a) smaller, smallest
b) bigger, biggest
c) Clean, cleanest
d) Old, older
e) uglier, ugliest
f) Noisy, noisiest
g) quieter, quietest
h) Pretty, prettiest
i) dirtier, dirtiest
j) New, newer

Note: For Part 2 h), "Prettier" in the worksheet is likely a typo for "Prettiest", so we used "prettiest" as superlative.

Also, for Part 1 d) "old" with "a" is not grammatically ideal, but based on the word list, it's the best fit.

To improve, for d) use "ugliest", but I think "old" is intended for age-related contexts.

Perhaps in some interpretations, "She is a old girl" is accepted in informal English, but strictly, it should be "an old girl".

Given the constraints, I'll keep as above.

So the final answer is as stated.
