Question 1: Which sentence uses the superlative form correctly?
- She is the most tallest girl in class.
- She is the tallest girl in class. (Correct answer)
- She is tallest girl in class.

Correct answer: She is the tallest girl in class.
The superlative of 'tall' is 'tallest' — never combine -est with 'most.'

- The noun 'He'
- The verb 'speaks'

'Very' is an adverb that intensifies another adverb, 'fluently.'
Question 3: Choose the sentence that correctly uses 'hard' as an adverb.
- She worked hard all day. (Correct answer)
- She worked hardly all day.
- She worked hardily all day.
- She worked hardness all day.
Correct answer: She worked hard all day.
'Hard' is already an adverb meaning 'with great effort,' so no -ly suffix is needed.
Question 4: What does 'hardly' mean in this sentence? 'I can hardly hear you.'
- with great effort
- almost not at all (Correct answer)
- very loudly
- always
Correct answer: almost not at all
'Hardly' means 'scarcely' or 'barely,' and is unrelated in meaning to 'hard.'
Question 5: Which adjective correctly fills the blank? 'The children were ___ after playing outside all afternoon.'
