To form the comparative degree of adverbs, you should add which of the following words? A. More or less B. Great or little C. All or none D. Most or least
1 Answer
A. More or less
Explanation:
The comparative degree means that you are comparing two or more things. It's important to remember that this degree compares them relative to each other.
If you are moving more quickly than before, it means that you are comparing the past with the present. You are comparing them relatively, since you moved slower in the past than you are now in the present.
If you are speaking less smoothly than the others, it means that you are comparing yourself with other people. It compares your speech relative to the others': your speech was more jumbled than that of the others.
"Great" and "little" are amounts: you can have a great amount of money, or a little amount of candy. You wouldn't use those words if you were comparing something.
"All" and "none" are the same: you can have all of the pencils, or none of the paper. They also wouldn't work if you tried to use them to compare.
"Most" and "least" indicate the superlative degree. Unlike the comparative degree, this does not compare two or more things relatively. It compares them absolutely. If you are the most smart or the least prepared, you are absolutely more smart or less prepared than everyone else.
So, out of the four answers, it would be A. "more" or "less." I hope this makes sense!
