You know, you have got __________ (nice) family.
- A.
The nicest than
- B.
Nicer than
- C.
Nicely
- D.
The nicest
Correct Answer
D. The nicestExplanation
The correct answer is "the nicest." This is because the word "nice" is a one-syllable adjective, so to form the comparative degree, we add "-est" to the end of the word. Since "nice" ends in an “s” sound and ends in an “e” we just add -st to the end of the word. However, in this sentence, we are comparing the family to all other families, so we need to use the superlative degree. To form the superlative degree, we add "the" before the comparative form, making it "the nicest."Rate this question:
