Grammar: Adjective

Question:

Choose the most appropriate adjective.
Everyone was home for the holidays. What could make for ___________ Diwali than that?

Options:

a happyer

the happiest

a happier

None of the above

Correct Answer:

a happier

Explanation:

The correct adjective to use in the blank is a happier.OPTION 3

The word happy is an adjective that means "feeling or showing pleasure or contentment." The word er is a suffix that indicates the comparative form of an adjective. In this case, a happier Diwali means a Diwali that is more happy than other Diwalis.

The other options are incorrect.

  • Happyer is a non-standard spelling of the comparative form of the adjective happy.
  • The happiest is the superlative form of the adjective happy, and it would be used to describe the Diwali that is the happiest of all.
  • None of the above is not an adjective.
