| A. Jupiter is farther from Earth than it is from Mars. | III. farther | Farther is the comparative of "far", used for physical distance; "than" calls for a comparative. |
| B. The Cantonment Railway Station is the furthermost point of this town. | I. furthermost | Furthermost means the most distant; with "the" it names the farthest point of the town. |
| C. My office is quite far from my home. | II. far | Far is the plain (positive) form, meaning at a great distance; no comparison is made, and "quite" goes before it. |
| D. His furtive looks indicated that he had something to conceal. | IV. furtive | Furtive means secretive and sly, trying not to be noticed, which is how a person with something to hide looks around. |
