Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
This is the worse famine this country has seen in a decade.
Option 1: most worse
Option 2: very worst
Option 3: No substitution required
Option 4: the worst
Correct Answer: the worst
Solution : The fourth option is the right choice.
We know that adjectives have three forms: positive (e.g., bad), comparative (e.g., worse), and superlative (e.g., worst). The superlative form is used when comparing more than two things or describing something as the highest degree or most extreme within a group.
In this case, worst would be used because it indicates that the famine being described is the most severe or extreme in comparison to other famines that have occurred in the country over the past decade.
So, the corrected sentence is: This is the worst famine this country has seen in a decade
