Let’s go step by step through each question. We’ll use the table of irregular adjectives to pick the right form — comparative (for comparing two things) or superlative (for comparing three or more, or when saying “the most/least”).
---
1. I have the ________ amount of toys. (little)
→ “The” suggests we’re talking about the smallest amount →
superlative
From table: little → least
✔ least
---
2. Do you think that tennis is ________ than football? (good)
→ “than” means we’re comparing two things →
comparative
From table: good → better
✔ better
---
3. Of the two foods, this one tastes ________. (bad)
→ “Of the two” = comparing two →
comparative
From table: bad → worse
✔ worse
---
4. This is the ________ water I have caught all week. (much)
→ “the” + “all week” implies it’s the biggest amount so far →
superlative
From table: much → most
✔ most
---
5. Who lives the ________ away from school? (far)
→ “the” + asking for the person who lives furthest →
superlative
From table: far → farthest
✔ farthest
*(Note: “farther” is also correct in some contexts, but since the table gives “farthest” as superlative and we’re using “the”, we go with farthest.)*
---
6. I like icecream the ________. (good)
→ “the” + no comparison word like “than” → likely meaning “best” (favorite) →
superlative
From table: good → best
✔ best
---
7. Both are far but St. Philip is ________ away. (far)
→ Comparing two places →
comparative
From table: far → farther
✔ farther
*(Again, “further” can be used too, but table says “farther” for comparative — so we follow the table.)*
---
8. Of the twin, Gary has ________ hair. (little)
→ “Of the twin” — wait, probably typo? Should be “twins”? But even if it’s “twin”, it’s comparing two people →
comparative
From table: little → less
✔ less
*(Hair is uncountable, so “less” is correct.)*
---
9. ________ toys are on the bed than on the floor. (many)
→ “than” = comparing two groups →
comparative
From table: many → more
✔ More
*(Capitalize because it starts the sentence.)*
---
10. This bag smells the ________. (bad)
→ “the” + describing how bad it smells → likely worst smell →
superlative
From table: bad → worst
✔ worst
---
Now let’s compile the answers:

1. least
2. better
3. worse
4. most
5. farthest
