Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The cold drink is the ______ beverage I had at the party.
Option 1: more cool
Option 2: more cooler
Option 3: coolest
Option 4: cooler
Correct Answer:
coolest
Solution : The correct answer is option 3.
The cold drink is the coolest beverage I had at the party.
Explanation:
- When describing something or someone as being the best among a group, we use a superlative.
- A superlative adjective is typically used with "the" before the noun, as in "the tallest student."
Now, the word "cool" only has one syllable.
- To make a one-syllable word superlative, we add the suffix -est.
- Since the sentence refers to the lowest limit of the word "cool" in the beverages available at the party, option 3 is the correct response. "Coolest" is therefore the superlative degree of the adjective and is appropriate for the given blank.
