Choose the most appropriate adjective.
Of all the workers in the shop, Jerzy is surely ______________
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → the least competent
The correct adjective to use in the blank is the least competent.
So the complete sentence would be: "Of all the workers in the shop, Jerzy is surely the least competent."
- "the less competent" is incorrect because "less" is used for comparisons between two items, while "least" is used for three or more.
- "the competentest" is not a standard form of the adjective "competent."
