Answers
1. She is compared with I. (Rule of parallelism).

Than is preceded by Comparative Degree of Adjectives.


2. Adjectives ending in ‘ior’ take ‘to’ and not ‘than’.
Eg.– senior, junior, prior, superior, inferior, anterior, posterior.
3. ‘A’ and ‘an’ generally take Positive Degree of Adjective if we find no
comparison at all.

Certain Adjectives have positive and Superlative Degree but not


Comparative.
Positive Degree Comparative Degree Superlative Degree
Senior × Seniormost
Junior × Juniormost

Senior and Junior too do not take more. They however take superlative
degree Seniormost and Juniormost

4. ‘The’ takes superlative degree of Adjectives.


5. Ans. – older. Here focus is on age, so we use older (old- older-oldest)
6. Ans. – elder, eldest. If blood relation is emphasised, use elder and eldest
(old-elder-eldest).
7. Ans. farther
8. Ans. further
7& 8 : Farther – दरू � म� और अ�धक (at a great distance)
Further – और अभी (to a great degree)
9. ‘The’ takes superlative degree of Adjective. Degrees → late – later – latest
– last.
Here latest (नवीनतम) is appropriate if we see the meaning of the sentence.
10. Here last is superlative degree of Adverb and not superlative degree of
Adjective as Adjective qualifies Noun and Article comes with Noun.
11. Here ‘best’ is an Adverb that is qualifying verb ‘served’. Hence no article
‘the’ is needed here.
12. No other student of the class is as good as she.
13. My house is not so far as hers.
14. No other student of my class is more intelligent than she.
OR She is more intelligent than all other students of the class.
15. Ans. elder. Elder and younger take ‘to’.
16. Ans. Next.
Degrees→ Near – Nearer – Nearest/ Next.
17. Ans. Nearest.
If we are injured or ill, we go to the nearest hospital.
18. Ans. Later.
Degrees → late – later – latest/ last

KD LIVE 278 Class Notes : ADJECTIVE


19. Former – पहले वाला, latter – बाद वाला
20. Ans. First and foremost.
Degrees→fore – former – foremost / first
21. Ans. → least. ‘The’ is followed by Superlative Degree of Adjective.
22. Ans. → Oldest. ‘The’ is followed by Superlative Degree of Adjective. Here
the age is emphasised so we use ‘oldest’ not ‘eldest’.
23. Ans. → eldest. Here siblings (भाई-बहन) denote blood relation. Here ‘the’ is
followed by eldest and not oldest.
24. Gold comes in any metal/ all metals. To compare gold with any ‘other’
metal, use word ‘other’ after any/all.
25. Any metal/ all metals is correct because diamond is not a metal.
26. Beating one’s own wife is also a crime. So use ‘any other crime’ to
compare ‘one crime’ with ‘the other crimes’.
27. Twice/ Thrice/ n times cannot take Comparative Degree of Adjective.
Use as + positive degree + as.
Structure:-
(1) Twice / thrice / n times + as + Positive degree + as
(2) Twice / thrice / n times + not so + Positive degree + as
28. Certain adjective are complete in their meaning. They do not take
Comparative or Superlative degrees. Eg- unique (सबसे अलग), universal
(सावर्भौ�म), ubiquitous (सावर्भौ�म), eternal (हमेशा के �लए), everlasting (हमेशा के

29. Ans. → add ‘than’ after ‘fairer’. If both Positive Degree and Comparative
Degree come in a sentence, we follow the following structure —

Positive Degree ... Comparative Degree + 'than'or

' to'

so so
according to
requirement

KD LIVE 279 Class Notes : ADJECTIVE


30. Ans. → no error. In negative sentences, we use so ... as or as ... as for
comparison.
31. Ans. (a). Everlasting means forever (हमेशा के �लए). ‘More’ and ‘everlasting’
cannot come together due to their meaning.
32. Comparatively and relatively do not take Comparative Degree otherwise
the sentence will become superfluous.
33. Ans. → Add ‘more’ before ‘sincere’. If conjunction joins Adjectives, the
Adjectives must be in the same degree.
34. Superlative degree of Adjectives takes article ‘the’ but for one person
only one article will come. Most talented will not take 'the' before 'it'.
35. Comparative degree comes when two Nouns/ Pronouns are compared
with each other. If two Adjectives are compared, we use ‘more + Positive
Degree’. Change 'wiser' into 'more wise'.
36. Ans. → No error. ‘Day-by-day’/ ‘with each passing day’/ ‘gradually’ show
gradual change. Here comparative degree is needed.
37. Ans. → No error. When ‘from ... to’ comes, we need to use next degree of
Adjective after ‘to’.
38. (i) Verbs of sensation and some other verbs take adjective and not
adverb.
जैसेः- verbs of sensation certain other verbs
seem, look, appear be, become, turn, get, go, remains, stay
grow, make and prove
�दखना
feel, smell, taste, sound
(ii) Here ‘look at’ means (दे खना). It is an action not a verb of sensation.
So we need an Adverb here.
39. Ans. → good(Adj) ‘smells’ takes an Adjective as it is a verb of sensation.
40. Ans. → well(Adv). ‘Work’ is a normal verb that takes an Adverb.
41. Ans. → Slowly(Adv). Run(V) is qualified by an Adverb ‘slowly’. There is no
word like fastly. Fast is both Adjective and Adverb.
42. Ans. → Slow(Adj). ‘Be’ is followed by an Adjective.
43. ‘Taste’ (verb of sensation) is followed by an Adjective. So answer is
delicious.
44. Ans. → deliciously. ‘Cooked(V)’ is qualified by an Adverb.
45. Here 'feel' means ‘महसूस होना’. Verbs of sensation take Adjective.
Ans. → soft (Adj)
46. Here feel means ‘छू कर महसूस करना’. It is an action here. Hence we need
adverb ‘softly’.
47, 49, 51 & 53 → Adjectives that qualify a noun come before the noun or after
the verb.
48, 50, 52 & 54 → Here the nouns acquired the quality because of reasons
mentioned (airbags or practice) or because of some unknown reason (in
52 & 54). Hence the Adjective follows the Noun and does not come
before the Noun.
55. 'ill' is the correct answer. 'Ill' is predicative. Predicative Adjective comes
after 'Sub + verb' and not before Noun.

KD LIVE 280 Class Notes : ADJECTIVE


56. Ans. — 'sick'. Sick is an Attributive Adjective. It comes before the Noun
(here-leave (छुट्))
57. Ans. — 'ill', 'ill'.
Gotten and spent are Adjectives that need an Adverb 'ill' to qualify them.
Here we have a hidden noun that is qualified by Adjective (gotten & spent)
and the Adjective is qualified by Adverb (ill).
58. Ans. — timid/ afraid.
59. Afraid is only a Predicative Adjective. So it cannot come before a Noun.
Other examples of Predicative Adjective → asleep, afloat, ablaze.
60. 'Foreign' is an Adjective. 'Country' (Noun) can be qualified by an Adjective
(foreign).
61. 'went' (verb) is qualified by an Adverb. 'Abroad' is an Adverb.
62. Here we need an Adjective 'asleep'. 'Sleep' is a verb. 'Was' (form of 'be')
takes Adjective.
63. The sentence is correct.
An honest businessman
Article + adjective + noun
64. The correct sentence is — He is a businessman honest in his dealings. Here
'honest in his dealings' gives correct meaning.
65. No error
66. She is an athlete capable of winning a gold medal is the correct sentence.
67. Change 'lakhs' into 'lakh' as we need Adjective here to qualify noun
'students'. When a noun comes as an Adjective, it must be in singular form.
68. Structure—
(1) Lakhs of students.
Plural Noun
Indefinite
numeral
Adjective

(2) Thousands of people. (3) Crores of rupees.


69. Change 'pair' into 'pairs'. Two pairs of shoes' is correct.
70. Both/ both of + my/ his etc + Noun in plural form is the correct structure.
The correct structure is—
(1) Both my brothers. (2) Both of my brothers.
Note:- When we use a pronoun in place of noun (Eg.→ They both have come),
the pronoun comes before both.
71. Structure— All + my, his, etc + Noun). 'All my books' is correct.
72. Change 'others' into 'other'. Here we need an Adjective (Other) to qualify
Children (Noun).
73. Here 'others' is required as P.V (are) needs plural Pronoun 'others'.
74. Change other into 'the other'. With 'S.N, the other means the 2nd out of
two.
75. No error. The other + P.N. means the remaining.

KD LIVE 281 Class Notes : ADJECTIVE


76. 'The others' means 'the remaining ones (of a group) — बाक� बचे लोग इत्या�
77. Another takes singular noun. Change 'glasses' into 'glass'.
Another means 'one more of the same kind' (उसी प्रक का दस ू रा, एक और)
78. 'Another' means 'any other' (कोई दस ू रा)
79. 'As ... as' takes positive degree of Adjective. Change 'happier' into 'happy'.
80. 'As ... as' takes positive degree of Adverb. Change 'faster' into 'fast'.
81. Change 'any river' into 'any other river' because 'Ganga' is also in India.
82. Remove 'other'. Nile is not in India.
