Question 120002 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

Which sentence correctly uses a superlative adjective?

Answer
A
Compared to my sister, I am the fastest swimmer.
B
The judges will count the highest of the two scores.
C
The sixth question was the easiest one on the quiz.
D
The spotted puppy is the most cute of the litter.

Explanation

A superlative adjective describes the greatest degree among a group. In “The sixth question was the easiest one on the quiz,” easiest compares that question with the other questions. “Highest of the two” should be “higher,” and “most cute” should be “cutest.” In A, “fastest” is not the right form for comparing only two people; “faster” is appropriate.
