Question

Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence.
She is kindest than anyone.

A.

kindest

B.

most kind

C.

more kinder

D.

kinder

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) kinder.

Explanation:
The sentence uses the conjunction 'than', which indicates a comparison between two entities (She and anyone else). Therefore, the comparative degree 'kinder' must be used instead of the superlative 'kindest'.

Grammatical rule used: Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify. The structure is usually: [Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object)].

Example: This room is bigger than the other one.

Information Booster:
Superlative degrees (kindest, biggest) are used when comparing more than two things and are usually preceded by 'the'.

So the correct answer is (d)
