Which one of these words should not be used in the comparative or superlative degree? A. Wealthy B. Sweet C. Smart D. Absolute

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The word that should not be used in the comparative or superlative degree is D. absolute. The word absolute is already at the highest degree possible - nothing can be more or less absolute than something else, because it is already complete and perfect. You cannot say - It is the most absolute of all - because that would mean all things are absolute, which obviously is not true. Wealthy, smart, and sweet do have comparative and superlative degrees, but absolute doesn't.

A writer reveals his or her​ ______________ by using tone and slanted language.a. publicity
b. aptitude
c. purpose
d. permissiveness

Answers

A writer reveals his or her purpose by using tone and slanted language. The definition of slanted language is to write down the detail that suits the writer's purpose. The writer will also leave out the details that do not suit his purpose.  The definition of tone is the attitude that the writer takes towards his subject and his readers. The tone of a piece written by an author goes a long way to influencing the reader. If a writer is passionate about a subject and writes passionately about the said subject, he will influence the reader to become passionate about his topic.

Which sentence does not contain any errors in comma usage?A.That book, I think is available at the library.

B.I'm exhausted after swimming, generally, speaking.

C.There will be snow, I believe during tomorrow's festivities.

D.You seem, consequently, to have stumbled upon the truth.

Answers

The best way to tackle this question is to go through each answer and pointing out the errors. 

"That book, I think is available at the library." A comma doesn't quite make sense here. A hyphen might be more appropriate. 

"I'm exhausted after swimming, generally, speaking." This example would be correct if there wasn't another comma after "generally". This is because "generally speaking" is one phrase, and shouldn't be separated. 

"There will be snow, I believe during tomorrow's festivities." This is the opposite of the previous answer. If there was a comma after "I believe", the sentence would be punctually correct. This is because "There will be snow during tomorrow's festivities" is the point of the sentence, but is interrupted with more information. 

That leaves D. as the correct answer.  
Hey there

The correct answer is (D) 

= You seem, consequently, to have stumbled upon the truth.
