61. Her health is __________ better now.
Answer: 'Much' is used to modify and intensify comparative adjectives (like 'better'). We say 'much better', not 'very better' or 'more better'.
62. There were __________ people at the concert than expected.
Answer: 'People' is a countable noun. Therefore, the comparative 'fewer' should be used. 'Less' is used for uncountable nouns.
63. The __________ house on the street is theirs.
Answer: 'Farthest' is the superlative form of 'far' and refers to the greatest physical distance. The sentence compares the house to all others on the street.
64. She bought a __________ table.
Answer: The correct order for these adjectives is Size ('small'), Shape ('round'), and then Material ('wooden').
65. The rose smells __________.
Answer: 'Smells' is used as a linking verb here, describing the quality of the rose. It should be followed by an adjective ('sweet'), not an adverb ('sweetly').
66. This coffee is more __________ than that one.
Answer: The word 'more' is already used to form the comparative, so the base form of the adjective 'bitter' is required. 'More bitterer' would be a double comparative.
67. I have __________ hope of winning the lottery.
Answer: 'Hope' is an uncountable noun. 'Little' means 'almost no' or 'not much', which fits the context of winning a lottery. 'A little' would imply some hope.
68. The teacher gave __________ student a different topic.
Answer: 'Every' is a distributive adjective used with a singular noun ('student') to refer to all members of a group individually.
69. He is the __________ of the two brothers.
Answer: When comparing two people, the comparative degree is used. For a multi-syllable adjective like 'intelligent', we use 'more'.
70. The __________ building in the city is the new skyscraper.
Answer: The superlative degree 'tallest' is required because the building is being compared to all other buildings in the city.
71. I am not interested in __________ of those options.
Answer: 'Either' is used with a negative verb ('am not') to mean 'not one or the other' of two options. 'Neither' would require a positive verb (e.g., 'Neither option is interesting').
72. It was an __________ decision to make.
Answer: An adjective ('easy') is needed to describe the noun 'decision'. The article 'an' is a clue that the next word starts with a vowel sound.
73. The police found __________ evidence at the crime scene.
Answer: 'Evidence' is an uncountable noun. 'No' can be used as a determiner with both countable and uncountable nouns. 'Many', 'a few', and 'several' are for countable nouns.
74. His conduct was __________.
Answer: After the linking verb 'was', an adjective is needed to describe the noun 'conduct'. 'Admirable' is the correct adjective.
75. This is a __________ documented case.
Answer: Here, 'well' is an adverb that modifies the participle 'documented', which is acting as an adjective. 'Good' is an adjective and cannot modify another adjective.
76. The __________ man deserves our respect.
Answer: The sentence needs a simple adjective to describe the noun 'man'. 'The poor' is used to refer to poor people as a group (e.g., 'The poor need help').
77. It is __________ hot to go outside.
Answer: The structure 'too + adjective + to + infinitive' indicates that the degree of the adjective prevents the action. It's so hot that one cannot go outside.
78. The audience was __________ with the performance.
Answer: The adjective 'disappointed' describes how the audience felt. The performance itself was 'disappointing'.
79. He has __________ knowledge than I do about this topic.
Answer: 'Knowledge' is an uncountable noun. The sentence is a comparison, so the comparative form 'more' is used. 'More' is the comparative of both 'much' and 'many'.
80. She is the __________ girl in her class.
Answer: To form the superlative of a multi-syllable adjective like 'beautiful', we use 'most'.
