Question

Martin ate the ______ amount of shawarma at the party, preferring to snack on vegetables.

Choose the superlative form of the adjective from the options.

• A. little
• B. less
• C. lest
• D. least

Answer 1

Answer:

D. least

• "Least" is the superlative form of "little" when referring to uncountable quantities (like food).

• "Less" is the comparative form.

• "Little" is the base form.

• "Lest" is a completely different word meaning "for fear that," and is not related to quantity.
