13. Which one of the following statements is true with respect to comparative and superlative suffixes? A. The superlative phase most likely compares two things. B. When you say, "May the better man win," you're substituting better for best. C. The standard comparative of sad is more sad. D. The positive form of the word faster is fast.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Well, D is certainly correct, because the positive form of the word faster truly is 'fast'. It goes - positive: fast, comparative - faster, superlative - fastest. But I'd say that B is also correct, because you do want the 'best' man to win. So, it is either D or B, or both. 
Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The true statement with respect to comparative and superlative suffixes is that the positive form of the word 'faster' is 'fast'. The comparative and superlative forms of adjectives are usually formed by adding suffixes to the-positive form.

Explanation:

Assessing the statements in relation to comparative and superlative suffixes, the true statement is D. The positive form of the word 'faster' is indeed 'fast'. This is because in English, the comparative form of adjectives is typically formed by adding '-er' to the end of the positive adjective while the superlative form is typically formed by adding '-est'. As such, the positive form (or base form) of 'faster' (comparative) and 'fastest' (superlative) is 'fast'.

A is incorrect because the superlative form is usually used in comparison of more than two things. B is incorrect as 'better' is the comparative form of good/bad, not the superlative. C is incorrect because the standard comparative of 'sad' is 'sadder', not 'more sad'.

Well I'm such an imaginative kind of person, and the story is really made me so tempted to read the last page of it to know the end. The blinds have a limited ideas about the universe and they didn't believe Nunez when he told them about the sight. What a pity !! He found the person who listens to him and he fell in love with her, and when I read that he have to remove his eyes to marry her. Honestly, I was whispering to myself "Don't tell me that he will agree to lose his eyes on account of the girl he loves." But he went above and beyond my expectations. He's so brave and brainy man and I liked the way he thought and how he acted while trying to prove to them that he had the power of sight. He finally escaped from this creepy valley, what a happy ending.Can u guys double check my answer and please correct my grammar mistakes ???
