Correct option is C
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c)
by far the brightest.
Explanation:
· The original sentence
“so far the bright student” is grammatically incorrect due to
missing superlative degree and incorrect intensifier.
· The correct intensifier used with a
superlative adjective is
“by far”, not “so far.”
· The adjective
"bright" must be in the
superlative form:
bright → brighter → brightest
✅
Correct sentence:
You are by far the brightest student in the class.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· With
superlatives, use determiners like
“the” and intensifiers like
“by far” to emphasize the highest degree.
Example:
· She is
by far the best player in the team.
Grammar Booster:
Avoid using “so far” with adjectives like “bright” in superlative constructions.
Use “by far” + “the + superlative adjective” to show a significant degree.
