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

AYash is best than Harsh.

BYash is as good as Harsh.

CYash and Harsh both are good.

DYash is not good than Harsh.

Answer:

B. Yash is as good as Harsh.

Read Explanation:

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.
