61. Her health is __________ better now.
  • D. many
  • C. very
  • A. much
  • B. more
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.
  • D. least
  • B. less
  • A. fewer
  • C. little
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.
  • A. farther
  • D. farthest
  • B. further
  • C. furthest
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.
  • D. small wooden round
  • B. wooden round small
  • C. round small wooden
  • A. small round wooden
Answer: The correct order for these adjectives is Size ('small'), Shape ('round'), and then Material ('wooden').
65. The rose smells __________.
  • B. sweetly
  • D. sweeter
  • A. sweet
  • C. sweetness
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.
  • B. bitterer
  • D. most bitter
  • C. bitterest
  • A. bitter
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.
  • C. little
  • D. a little
  • B. a few
  • A. few
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.
  • B. all
  • C. several
  • D. some
  • A. every
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.
  • D. intelligenter
  • C. intelligent
  • B. most intelligent
  • A. more intelligent
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.
  • B. tall
  • A. taller
  • C. most tall
  • D. tallest
Answer: The superlative degree 'tallest' is required because the building is being compared to all other buildings in the city.
