Your answers are correct! Well done!

Here's an explanation of how to determine the correct answers for each question:

Question 1: The rule for adjectives of two syllables ending in -y is to change the y to i and add -er, -est endings. In this case, "prettier" follows that rule.

Question 2: "Happiest" follows the rule for adjectives of two syllables that do not end in -y, which is to add -est ending.

Question 3: "Most safely" follows the rule for two-syllable adjectives that don't end in -y, which is to add "most" for the superlative form.

Question 4: "Yellower" follows the rule for adjectives of two syllables ending in -y, where you change the y to i and add -er, -est endings.

Question 5: "Less generous" follows the rule for two-syllable adjectives that don't end in -y. In this case, we use "less" for the comparative form.

Remember that this rule is not a hard and fast rule for all adjectives; it's a general guideline that helps with the formation of comparative and superlative forms of two-syllable adjectives. Some adjectives may have irregular forms, so it's always helpful to consult a dictionary if you're unsure about a specific adjective.
