Question

Select the most appropriate option to change the given degree of adjective in the sentence to its comparative degree in the following sentence, without changing its meaning:
Arjun is the best boy in our class.

Arjun is better than any other boy in our class.

Few boys in our class are better than Arjun.

No other boy in our class is as better as Arjun.

Arjun is best than all the boys in our class.

Solution

Correct option is A

The correct option is (a) Arjun is better than any other boy in our class.

Explanation:
The original sentence uses the superlative degree: the best. To convert it into the comparative degree without changing its meaning, we use the structure: Subject + comparative adjective + than + any other + noun.

Grammatical Rule (English):

Superlative → Comparative conversion:
X is the best in the group → X is better than any other member of the group.

Explanation of Other Options:

(b) Few boys in our class are better than Arjun – This is a positive degree conversion, not comparative degree.
(c) No other boy in our class is as better as Arjun – Grammatically incorrect; as better as is wrong usage. Correct form would be as good as.
(d) Arjun is best than all the boys in our class – Incorrect; best than is grammatically wrong. Best is a superlative and cannot be used with than.

So the correct answer is (a)
