Answer 2

Well, which do you think and why?

Answer 3

A)

Yep.

Answer 5

do you think this is right?

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7

C?

Answer 8

No, it is not superlative.

Answer 9

so i think its D

Answer 10

Yes.

Also, it is clearer to say it does not need the superlative. Ultimate means the best, the top. But when you add the superlative, most, it means well... the best, the top. Ultimate is already there, so there can not be a most ultimate because it is already that.

Do you understand what "positive degree" means?

Answer 17

no

Answer 18

It means the base form, so for tall, taller, tallest:

Tall is the base or positive form.
Taller is the comparative form.
Tallest is the superlative form.

Answer 19

So you got it right, I just wanted to make sure you knew why.

Answer 20

oh ok :) thank you

Answer 21

i think this is right but i just want to double check

Answer 22

Well, be is not the plural.

It says there are multiple magazines, so you need the plural.

Answer 23

ok

Answer 24

Yes, that is the plural there. Agreement is about plurality or singularity agreeing throughout the sentence.
