Choose the grammatically correct sentence:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Of all the entries in the contest, Tara’s poster was the most striking.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Adjectives that cannot be compared:
Some adjectives, such as “unique” and “perfect”, already name the highest point. So we do not use “more” or “most” with them. “Striking” means very easy to notice and attractive. It can be compared, so “the most striking” is correct.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Of all the entries in the contest, Tara’s poster was the most unique. — Incorrect. “Unique” means the only one of its kind, so it cannot take “most”. Example: Every person’s fingerprint is unique.
Option 3: Tara’s poster was more better than all the other entries in the contest. — Incorrect. “Better” is already the comparative of “good”. Adding “more” makes a double comparative. Example: Meena’s handwriting is better than mine.
Option 4: Of all the entries in the contest, Tara’s poster was the most perfect. — Incorrect. “Perfect” means with no fault at all. Nothing can be more than faultless, so “most perfect” is wrong. Example: Ravi got a perfect score in the maths test.
