IDIDNT GET THAT FOR A ANSWER ACTUALLY WITH B I FAILED THAT QUESTION.WHY IS THIS?
The sentence that contains the correct adjective or adverb is:
"My mother has five children, and I am the oldest."
To identify the correct adjective or adverb in a sentence, you need to have knowledge of their usage and comparative/superlative forms.
In the first sentence, "short" is the correct adjective used to describe Dorie.
In the second sentence, "oldest" is the correct adjective used to compare the ages of the children.
In the third sentence, there is an error. The word "more" is unnecessary because "hotter" already indicates a comparative form. It should be revised as "Habanero chilies are hotter than jalapeno peppers."
In the fourth sentence, there is also an error. "Worst" should be replaced with "worse" because it is comparing two things. It should be revised as "Although Ralph's panic attacks were bad, his neuroses were worse."
