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
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Complete sentence: What could make for a happier Diwali than that? The word “than” shows that two things are compared. The question asks what could make a Diwali happier than having everyone at home.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) a more happier | a double comparative: “happier” already has the comparative ending -er, so “more” cannot be added | – |
| (2) the happiest | the superlative: it compares one thing with all others and does not go with “than” | That was the happiest day of my life. |
| (3) a happier (answer) | the comparative of “happy”: “Diwali” here means one festival time, so “a” comes before it | Nothing could give me a happier morning than a holiday. |
| (4) None of the above | – | – |
