Answer 2

To complete the sentences with the Comparative or Superlative form of the Adjectives in brackets, we can apply the appropriate form of the adjectives in each sentence. Let's address each sentence individually.

1. Mary is better (good) at playing board games than the rest of the company.

In this sentence, we use the comparative form "better" because we are comparing Mary's skill at playing board games with the rest of the company.

2. Garry enjoys reading much more (much) than his brothers.

Here, we use the comparative form "much more" to express that Garry enjoys reading to a greater extent than his brothers.

3. Sam had the oldest (old) car in town.

In this sentence, we use the superlative form "the oldest" to indicate that Sam's car is older than all the other cars in town.

4. The delivery boy was as fast (fast) as always.

In this case, we use the comparative form "as fast" to indicate that the delivery boy's speed was consistent with his usual speed.

5. Karen wants to be a better (good) doctor when she grows up.

Here, we use the comparative form "better" to convey that Karen aims to become a more skilled doctor in the future.

Garry enjoys reading much more than his brothers. 3. Sam had the oldest car in town. 4. The delivery boy was as fast as always. 5. Karen wants to be a better doctor when she grows up.
