Q1Assertion: "Beautifuler" is usually rejected in primary school grammar. Reason: Longer adjectives commonly use more and most.

A Assertion true, reason false.
B Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion.
C Assertion false, reason true.
D Both assertion and reason are false.
Explanation

Beautiful is a longer adjective, so the safe school forms are more beautiful and most beautiful. This item is hard because some learners overgeneralise er and est from short adjectives. The reason explains the assertion and gives the correct rule for Karan to use.

Q2Which set shows a longer adjective pattern?

A fast, faster, fastest
B late, later, latest
C careful, more careful, most careful
D happy, happier, happiest
Explanation

Longer adjectives often use more and most instead of er and est. Careful is a useful classroom example because children may be tempted to say carefuler. The teacher should connect the form to sentences, such as Devika is more careful than Karan.

Q3Match the signal with the likely degree: 1. than 2. of all 3. no comparison

A 1-comparative, 2-superlative, 3-positive
B 1-positive, 2-comparative, 3-superlative
C 1-superlative, 2-positive, 3-comparative
D 1-comparative, 2-positive, 3-superlative
Explanation

Signal words are quick MCQ clues. Than normally points to comparative degree. Of all points to superlative degree because one item is being chosen from the group. When no comparison is made, the adjective stays in positive degree.

Q4Which pair is correctly matched?

A good - gooder - goodest
B beautiful - beautifuler - beautifulest
C bad - worse - worst
D small - more small - most small
Explanation

This item checks whether the candidate separates regular and irregular patterns. Devika should remember bad, worse, worst as a fixed irregular set. The other options either force regular endings onto irregular or longer adjectives, or use more and most where er and est are expected.

Q5Asha says, "This pencil is tall." Which degree is tall?

A Positive degree
B Comparative degree
C Superlative degree
D Irregular degree
Explanation

Positive describes a quality without comparing it. Asha is looking at one pencil only, so tall stays in the base form. The teacher should first ask whether another pencil or a group is present; if not, the positive degree is the safe answer.
