Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for English

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
For size, 'little - littler - littlest' (though not commonly used; 'smallest' is preferred). But the correct form listed is 'littlest'. However 'least' is superlative for amount. The question might be ambiguous. I'll change to: 'Which is the superlative of 'little' when referring to quantity?' -> least. I'll just keep it and give solution accordingly. I'll rephrase: 'Which is the superlative of 'little' meaning 'not much'?' -> least. I'll adjust.

Which sentence uses an adjective as an adverb incorrectly?
A. He runs fast.

C. He works hard.
D. They arrived late.
Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for English

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
'Loud' can be an adverb in informal contexts (speak loud) but standard requires 'loudly'. However, 'fast', 'hard', 'late' are flat adverbs. So 'speaks loud' is acceptable; but many exams consider 'speak loudly' correct. I'll choose 'speaks loud' as incorrect in formal English. I'll adjust: 'She speaks loud' is often marked incorrect; correct is 'loudly'. I'll keep.

B. gentler
C. gentlest
D. more gentler
Discuss
Get Complete Subject PDF for English

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:
'Gentle' can take '-er' (gentler) or 'more gentle', both acceptable; but 'gentler' is standard. To be safe, I'll use option 'more gentle' as an alternative. In many exams, they accept both, but will list one. I'll make option A 'gentler', B 'more gentle', and correct answer A because it's the single-word comparative. I'll mention both are possible, but the better form is 'gentler'.
