Choose the most appropriate adjective.
Everyone was home for the holidays. What could make for ___________ Diwali than that?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → a happier
The correct adjective to use in the blank is a happier.
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.
