Study the particular grammatical terms you need, and then indicate what you think.
1. The positive degree of the verb in the sentence "She is the _____ driver of the two" would be "good." So the sentence can be completed as "She is the better driver of the two" (comparative degree) or "She is the best driver of the two" (superlative degree).
To determine the positive degree of a verb, you can simply use the base form of the verb without any comparative or superlative modifiers.
2. In the sentence "In the early morning, he moved quite sluggishly," the italicized adverb "quite" modifies the adverb "sluggishly."
To identify the part of speech that an adverb modifies, you need to look at what word or phrase the adverb is providing additional information for. In this case, "quite" is telling us more about the manner in which he moved (the adverb "sluggishly").
3. In the sentence "She ran quickly around the tree," the italicized adverb "quickly" modifies the verb "ran."
Again, to identify the part of speech that an adverb modifies, you need to look at what word or phrase the adverb is providing additional information for. In this case, "quickly" is telling us more about how she performed the action of running (the verb "ran").
