Question

Change the following sentence into positive degree. Yash is not better than Harsh.

• A. Yash is best than Harsh.
• B. Yash is as good as Harsh.
• C. Yash and Harsh both are good.
• D. Yash is not good than Harsh.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Yash is as good as Harsh.

In English grammar, when comparing two people or things, we use different "degrees" of comparison: Positive, Comparative, and Superlative. Original Sentence: "Yash is not better than Harsh." This is in the Comparative degree (using "better"). It means Harsh is at least equal to or perhaps superior to Yash. Transformation Rule: When a comparative sentence is negative (not better than), the positive degree must be affirmative (as...as) to maintain the same meaning. Why Option B is correct: "Yash is as good as Harsh" uses the positive form of the adjective ("good") and correctly conveys that Yash's quality is equal to Harsh's.
