6.more quickly

7.more beautiful

8.less generous

9.biggest

10.least closely

Answer 1

6 - correct

7 - no because "beautiful" has 3 syllables.

8 - no because "generous" has 3 syllables.

9 - correct

10 - incorrect; re-read the question

Answer 2

7.most safely

8. least sweetly

10.yellower

Answer 3

7 and 8 -- correct

10 -- still needs re-thinking. Count syllables on each basic word:

reckless
close
high
yellow

Now which ONE is two syllables AND has -er or -est as a suffix?

Answer 4

Sorry -- my last post was wrong.

Which one has ONE syllable AND has -er or -est attached? Close is one syllable, but in that list does it have -er or -est attached?

Answer 5

To answer these questions, we need to understand the rules for forming comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs.

For Question 6, the rule is that adverbs of two syllables take the forms "more" for comparative and "most" for superlative. The given example, "more quickly," follows this rule.

For Question 7, the same rule applies. The correct answer, "more beautiful," follows the pattern of adding "more" to the two-syllable adverb "beautiful."

For Question 8, the rule is slightly different. In this case, the adverb "less" is used for the comparative form, and "least" is used for the superlative form. The correct answer, "less generous," follows this rule.

For Question 9, the rule is that one-syllable words usually take the endings "-er" for comparative and "-est" for superlative. The correct answer, "biggest," follows this pattern.

For Question 10, again we follow the rule for one-syllable words. The correct answer, "least closely," adds "-est" to the adverb "close."

So, the correct answers are:

6. more quickly
7. more beautiful
8. less generous
9. biggest
10. least closely
