D Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'one of the ____ speakers' requires a superlative because we're selecting from a group. 'Best' is the superlative of 'good' and correctly completes this common expression. 'Greater' and 'greatest' are also superlatatives but don't collocate with 'speakers' in this context.

  4. best

  5. most popular

D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence likely means 'The best-known fables are those attributed to Aesop.' The superlative 'best' is used here as a shortened form of 'best-known' or 'most famous'. 'Most popular' would also work but 'best' is the marked answer. 'Most popular' is grammatically correct too.

Multiple choice

Directions: Choose the appropriate word to fill in the blank from the given options:The Arabian Nights is perhaps the ____ story book.

  1. most interesting

  2. better

  3. good

  4. best

  5. greatest
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes a collection of stories as perhaps the most interesting one ever. 'Most interesting' is the superlative form of 'interesting' (using 'most' for longer adjectives). 'Better' and 'best' would be for 'good', not 'interesting'. 'Greatest' doesn't fit context.
