Answer 2

1. A trial was a game played within certain rigid rules, where the better player won, and Jennifer was determined to be the better player.

In this sentence, we can see the comparative degree of the adjective "better." The adjective "better" is used to compare Jennifer's skills as a player to the skills of others participating in the trial. The comparative degree implies that Jennifer's skills are superior to those of the other players.

2. The trial was going worse than Jennifer had dreamed in her wildest nightmares. She could feel the Jury’s eagerness to get the trial over with a verdict of guilty.

In this sentence, we can see the comparative degree of the adjective "worse." The adjective "worse" is used to compare the trial's progress to Jennifer's worst nightmares. The comparative degree suggests that the trial's progress is even more negative and unfavorable than Jennifer could have imagined.

3. He was put in the House of Detention for Men, the largest and oldest gaol on the island.

In this sentence, there is no comparative degree of any adjective. The adjective "largest" describes the House of Detention for Men as being superior in size compared to other gaols on the island. However, there is no direct comparison being made in this sentence.
