Choose the most appropriate adjective.
Those are probably the ___________ chairs in the store.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → fanciest
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Complete sentence: Those are probably the fanciest chairs in the store. The word “the” and “in the store” show that these chairs are compared with all the other chairs.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) fancyest | not a correct form: the y must change to i before -est, as in “the easiest” | – |
| (2) fanciest (answer) | the superlative degree: when a short adjective ends in a consonant + y, the y changes to i and we add -est (fancy, fanciest) | Meena wore the fanciest lehenga at her cousin’s wedding. |
| (3) most fanciest | a double superlative: “fanciest” already has the superlative ending -est, so “most” cannot be added | – |
| (4) None of the above | – | – |
