Question

Medini is not so ____ as Soumya.

• A. cleverer
• B. cleverest
• C. clever
• D. the cleverest

Answer 1

Answer:

C. clever

• In comparisons using "not so ... as," the base form of the adjective (in this case, "clever") is used to compare two people or things.
• "Cleverer" - This is the comparative form, but it's not used with "not so ... as."
• "Cleverest" - This is the superlative form, used to indicate the highest degree of comparison among three or more.
• "The cleverest" - The definite article "the" with the superlative form is not appropriate in this context.
