Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
He possesses one of the slimmer handsets in the world.

A.

most slim

B.

slimmest

C.

slim

D.

most slimmest

Correct option is B


The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) slimmest.
Explanation: When comparing one item among all, the superlative degree is used — “slimmest.” "Slimmer" is comparative, and "most slimmest" is grammatically incorrect due to double comparison.
Grammatical rule used: Use superlative degree (“-est” or “most”) when comparing one among many.
Example: She bought the cheapest bag in the store.
